I got my Pale Horse all wired up and was pretty proud of how clean I got it. Fired it up and no bypass signal, only when the effect is on. Then I realized the relay was upside down from the picture in the build doc. Man... I thought I checked that. So I started desoldering but what a pain. I got one jack out clean and the other is giving me some trouble.
So, I'm asking hoping there is an easy workaround? Probably not but I figured I might ask. Could I just swap the way the switch is wired?
No, unfortunately. You will need to desolder the relay and flip it around.
Sounds backwards but if you're having trouble desoldering a pad, try adding fresh solder to the joint. Other than that, yeah it can be a pain.
Thanks! I definitely have gotten better at this over the past year. Adding solder is totally the key for those troublesome spots.
I did it! All working now. Was scared I was going to trash the board but these boards are pretty stable. Looks like crap but totally works. I used a new relay cause I was worried the original would be damaged by heat. Thanks guys.
