Yes

No, don't do that, you might fry the chips.

Have the Reps. knob at 12 o'clock and the delay time knob at 3:30/4 o'clock and the whole thing is one an infinite loop of growling, distorted mess. Sounds like a ship's engine if I was listening to it from an alternate dimension.
Does this mean one of the chips is bad? Did I mess up the build?
Can you provide some more explanation? I don't know what the pedal was doing with the Reps. knob at 12 o'clock and the delay time knob at 3:30/4 o'clock before you swapped the chips. The repeats knob can be pretty sensitive depending on where the trim pot is set. It sounds like what you are describing is the runaway oscillation you get when the repeats is turned up very high, which is normal.
How does the chip swap affect the sound keeping the knobs at the same positions/all other things being equal? Any effect on the first repeat?
