Hi,
I fear I screwed the project on the very last bit of soldering.
I think I did ok on JP 3, 4 then 1.
But I could not get the solder to jump on JP 2 and trying I think I burned the pads.
The pedal works when engaged but the sound has no high frequencies.
Also there seems to be no effect when the Harmonic Mix knob is fully clockwise.
And to top it off, when scraping loose solder off I think I dislodged the trace to a jumper.
Please help Thank You!Is it possible to post a picture here?
btw I saw the other post inre Jumper Soldering Workaround?
I don’t have a conductive pen.
Also can’t see anything I can attach a wire to.
ThxYou can post an image that is hosted elsewhere (eg, Facebook, Vimeo, Google Photos, etc). Click “IMG” above the Reply window, then paste the link to the image. Fear not; we’ll get you fixed up.
A friend who is somewhat of a genius, just told me to jump TP2 to the trace below JP2.
That would be a challenge for me but would it work?Sorry the Google Photos bit wasn’t cooperating.
Anyway I did what my friend said.
Scraped the little bit of trace hanging offa the pcb.
Tinned a few strands of copper I got from an old ac cord.
Jumped TP42 to the hanging trace.
Checked for continuity – yes – yay!
Hi frequency trem now works.I now have issue with over all frequency response, wil create another thread
Thank You!
I did the same thing on Jumper 3. These pads don’t seem to like to take solder. I ended up with a solder blob on my iron tip and a lump of solder mask/rosin on the jumper. When I scraped off the lump I took the pads off as well (I have an image, unsure how the forum can accept images). I am thinking of trying to use a Chemtronics CW2200MTP microtip pen on this jumper. Adding insult to injury, while moving my iron away from the failed jumper, the solder blob on the tip then dropped off and splashed into and under the DC power jack, shorting its terminals! The replacement jack doesn’t want to solder into the holes which I have cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, the holes are repelling solder. I’m using MG Chemical 60/40 rosin core. What iron temperature do you guys recommend? I’m using a Hakko FX-600 set at 370F. A beautiful build turned into a disaster at the very end. Thanks.
