Hello everybody,
I just finished my first build, the Confidence Boost, in preparation for building more pedals, starting with the classic compressor.
It seems to work ALMOST correctly. The circuit is a bit more "overdrive" than "clean boost" than I expected, but that seems normal, judging from other posts.
However, for some mysterious reason, the gain trim pot is working backwards. As you turn it up, the gain actually goes down. Any thoughts about that?
When looking at the circuit, it almost seems like it is designed to do this, with the wiper that goes to the output jack sweeping towards ground when you turn it up. I suspect I'm reading it incorrectly.
I haven't been able to spot any errors when I look at the board. Here are some pictures:
