Hi there
Finally completed my byoc ts808 clone but once i had it built I believe it isn't functioning correctly.
I reflowed all the solder after taking these pictures and pit it back together and the issue still persists. I've checked several spots and made sure there's no continuity between capacitor ends etc, cleaned the board with rubbing alcohol.
It sounds like it is clipping really hard when the guitar volume is too high, turning it the guitar volume pre-pedal down makes it so the clipping is less apparent but there's still a huge drop in volume across the pedal. When the pedal isn't activated the volume isn't affected and sounds normal. The tone pot is responsive and creates more "hiss" when turned fully open as you can hear in :45 in the soundcloud link.
The drive and volume knob barely affect the difference in clipping sound. throughout the clip i'm variating the position of both those knobs.
curious how i should trouble shoot this as it's my first pedal-
I have a DMM available if anyone can point me in the right direction.
