It says 6 string bass, is that the same as a baritone guitar?

Nicely done sir, and so very neat.

At some point the tips may not transfer heat evenly.

After at least 100 builds, I still forget to do this. /derail

Sorry for the lack of update. Went down with the flu on Saturday and it's been kicking my ass. I'll get them as soon as I feel up to it (starting to get a bit better).
No worries, I think I'm getting something now myself.

If I touch R24 or R 25 on the right side, the effects each work, i'm stumped. You think that's the diodes too?

Do you have a cracked solder joint? I see you have dust covers on the pots but maybe they're shorting somewhere? I've no idea how poking a resistor would affect a circuit  :o Maybe something to do with that via between the two resistors.
It's grounding to me

The 1n914 is where a lot of the signal rectification happens on the envelope follower and those are some of the ones used on IC3. I'll go back and double check my voltages to make sure my list is accurate.

As far as those particular diodes, I have seen the supposed 1n914 from Tayda cause problems with other builds (specifically the Rustbucket). So, it's hard to say if that's the issue or not (without testing of forward voltage, etc, I can't really say for sure)...no question that those are not 1n914, though. In general, I advise NOT buying diodes/ICs/transistors from Tayda. You just don't know what you are going to get.

Anyway, I will re-check my voltages and give an update soon.

That's going to be part of the problem my guess. If you need some 1n914 I can send you a handful. I have thousands. But, not sure that's all that's going on.
Yes please. I am utterly confused as to what I have then. I can completely agree with you.

Yeah those are definitely not 1n914. They are from Tayda, aren't they? Not shaming...just verifying :)
They are, now I have to make sure.

Ampegulator? Not sure if that is the right name, but may want to check into that.

I'll look over it more carefully later today. What diodes are those?

jmkpcbs has a great one, guitarpcb has a great one and the one I use is the byoc bas overdrive.
