Build Your Own Clone Message Board

I built the 5-Knob Comp about a year and a half ago. The level knob never worked. I was able to get a very subtle effect so I just continued to use the pedal as is. Now I'm finally getting around to troubleshooting and would like to get it working properly. All other knobs seem to work although the effect is very small. Looks like the board has changed design. I noticed some of the pot values are switched on the new ones. Well, either switched or I assembled them wrong originally.

Long story short: What should my pot values be? Currently have:

SUS ATT
A100k B500k


Ratio Lev BassCut
B10k C250k A100k

The Pot Values have stayed the same through the revision (it's their location that have changed)

SUS - B500K
LEVEL - A100K
TONE - A100K
ATTACK - C250K
BLEND/RATIO - B10K

Recheck yours.

Also, if you have the original board, with the Pots/w Solder Lugs that have to be wired (as opposed to the newer , Version 2.0 that has PCB Mounted Pots), you should be using these instructions:

I'm an idiot. All of my nice soldering is for naught if I don't label things correctly. Looks like I had it wired correctly. I think I built it, and then went to the website later to label it according to the NEW instructions. Thanks for your quick reply and old instructions.

Don't tell anyone.

SO is it working properly?
