Could be, I'd test with the good old DMM across pins 1 and 2, then 2 and 3.

I have HUUUUUGE respect for Brian, Rej, Jacob, and all the other board suppliers when threads like these happen... would like to just quietly hide at times!
It is nerve wracking for sure. The hardest debugs are when you have a bad part hidden somewhere.

The extra repeats (beyond the first one) come from feeding the output of the delay back into it, through the fdbk pot and (on the flea) R13 and C11. They're the only thing I can think of. Cold solders?
Re flowed everything. Bad feedback pot maybe?

Ok, built a second one, all of the voltages now match my sea urchin voltages. Only getting one repeat. checked my delay cap and resistor, and all of the other cap values, I'm stumped again. Turns out the pt2399 was locking up, s I got that fixed. Tried about 3 different 2399 chips.

Sorry to hear about the divorce. I have an Aristocrat waiting to be built. After having kids I just don't have a ton of free time.

What are the diodes with the yellow stripes?

Thanks.
I think I used 1n34a is have to refer to the build doc. Ironically, I have tons of free time and build less

Nope, it's no normal for the regulator to get hot. Try a different 2399 chip and also check your resistor values. Look for any tiny solder bridges also. Some one should be along shortly to tell you to post clear sharp well lit photos and check the voltages and post them too. .

I got 600 for a build I didn't really want to do, that's why I priced it so high. Built a KoT clone and traded it for a Mexican strat. Traded a preproduction Quad boost for a volume pedal.

Way to go Jim! Great to hear.

I'm not sure if this is something people on here need, but if you feel you have an addiction problem, please get help. I've never met a person in recovery who has regretted starting that hard road.

That looks fantastic. Barry's best is what I use, it's great stuff. You may also seek out chrome so here, his online store front has got great wire cheap also.

Bwahahahaha, the circuit worked for you, so it's a good design. If the new ones work, I'm chalking it up to a bad board, we all know those happen from time to time.

I did a couple of 4 in 1s. I dig those.

I did a phase 45 and a phase 90. I also have a klon and a boost.
