Tried a different PT2399?

yep, I may need to try a few more I suppose maybe?

Pin voltages. I'm using a battery so VB+ is 8.1
i-4.9
2-2.3
3-0
4-4.9
5-4.9
6-2.3
7-0
8-4.5
9-4.6
10-.6
11-2.3
12-2.3
13-2.3
14-2.3
15-2.3
16-2.3

Anything seem amiss?

I have  audio, just no delay and a hot regulator.

Check the voltages on your regulator and make sure they're what you should be getting. Off the top of my head I think you should be seeing 5V at pin 1 of the PT2399 if that's an easier spot to measure...

That's all good, that was my thought too. The only other thing I can think of is I used a little extra flux on some if the ground connections, they seemed a bit stubborn. It's not unheard of for flux to cause issues.

That's what I was thinking, bit I was hopping I was wrong. This one has me stumped.

So R7 is the ony resistor that would affect the regulator?

Junk PT2399 maybe? The polarities on the ele caps right?

Polarities are good, damned resistors are so small, I can't really read them but just comparing them to what I can see, they're right.

Parts match up to the bom, I'm at a loss.

The part numbering doesn't match up between the Sea Urchin and Sea Flea.

I'll check what I have when I get home. I hope that's it, otherwise  finding "the" bad part is a pita

I flipped it even though it matched the silkscreen, no dice.

I believe it was AlanP. It's based on the DBD

I believe you're right. It was based on the dbd, just 1590a style.

a nice microscope can do wonders even for us elderly

Ha! I have jewelers glasses that go up to 5x

Excellent!! I traded for a strat once.

Welcome! I got started by replacing pups in bass also! Like the mafia, it sucks you right in.

My regulator is getting warm, and I got no delay. I have resoldered, I have run a blade through every joint, verified all the caps are in the right spots. I'm stumped, I tried another regulator, does the same thing. Is there a part that has gone bad? Is there a schematic? I took a solder side picture, I'll take more this evening.

Is the ticking noticeable when you ae playing also? in the youtube videos and the build docs, it says ticking is just going to be a fact. I didn't think about a buffer in front though.
