Soldering, clipping, cutting, stripping, or using any of the components in

not warranty the completed pedal as a whole functioning unit, nor do we
warranty any of the individual parts once they have been used. If you have a
component that is used, but feel it was defective prior to you using it, we
reserve the right to determine whether or not the component was faulty upon
arrival. Please direct all warranty issues to:
[email protected] This would include any missing parts
issues.

When posting a tech support thread on the BYOC forum, please post it in the
correct lounge, and please title your thread appropriately. If everyone titles
their threads “HELP!” then it makes it impossible for the people who are
helping you to keep track of your progress. A very brief description of your
specific problem will do. It will also make it easier to see if someone else is
having or has had the same problem as you. The question you are about to
ask may already be answered. Here is a list of things that you should
include in the body of your tech support thread:
1. A detailed explanation of what the problem is. (more than, “It doesn’t
work, help”)
2. Pic of the topside of your PCB.
3. Pic of the underside of your PCB.
4. Pic that clearly shows your footswitch/jack wiring and the wires going to
the PCB

3
5. A pic that clearly shows your wiring going from the PCB to the pots and
any other switches (only if your kit has non-PC mounted pots and switches)
6. Is bypass working?
7. Does the LED come on?
8. If you answered yes to 6 and 7, what does the pedal do when it is in the
"on" position?
9. Battery or adapter (if battery, is it good? If adapter, what type?)
Also, please only post photos that are in focus.
