Hi everyone,
I've just finished a FET Preamp pedal, the Boss FA-1 clone. It's not my first build, I've made
many others BYOC kits including an analog delay and a Large Beaver (plus a couple of tube
amps from scratch) all working perfectly.
I'm rather sure the build has been made properly, checked any single component twice
and soldered with a Lafayette soldering station at 390° celsius, all soldering appears to
be very well done and shine.
Unfortunately it doesn't work properly: led works, bypass also is working but when the pedal
is switched on, the global volume decreases with no effect on guitar tone, the volume control seems
to (slightly) work backwards eq controls do not work at all.
I've re-checked the soldering and tried to swap the IC but the result never changes.
Here's a few pics.
I would be grateful if someone could share a guess...

Thanks a lot
