New guy here.
So i've built lots of amp and guitars... but I seem to be struggling with pedals. I'm 2 for 3... not including this one.
Here's my dilemma... I built a Nautilus, plugged it in to test it. The power LED works fine (between dc jack and 3PDT)... and I get sound. I hit the switch and the board mounted LED comes on, but I had nothing. Opened up the back and found that I had LED in backwards (doh). Also found that D2 negative side was mounted in the wrong hole. Also, at least part of that blew C14 (turned very dark brown with heat).
I reversed IC1 to the right orientation, fixed D1 and replaced C14. Any chance I've blown other components?
Also, I count 8 holes not in use. Is there a reason for these? And the is the ground near the 9 volt (G/9V) not used (as on the wiring diagram)?
Thanks in advance...
