hi, I'd like some help troubleshooting my recent tonebender MKIII build:





I was very cautious with my wiring, although you will notice a couple places I should've used heatshrink.
FYI, I used GGG's pcb and layout -- this is third one with that layout, and the other two sound great.

I'm partly venting -- I'm a little heartbroken, 'cause it sounded awesome before 'I buttoned it up', as you can tell by this clip:

yes, I intend to go through GEO's debugging guide ...

this was my first build with enclosed jacks -- has anyone used washers on the inside for extra insulation?
that's one of the things I'm gonna check.

Incidently, here's my page with my other recent MKII and IIIs:

thanks kindly for your help

That clip sounds amazing. What schematic were you working from?

Get back to us with some more info so somebody can help you get this thing rocking again!
