    Hi, I’m working on a build with the Angry Llama PCB. I have the pedal wired up (picture attached) but when I plug in the pedal, I get lots of gain but turning the knobs does not affect the sound, and there is also no distortion on the sound. The stomp switch works – I have it wired to the 3PDT board. The pots are soldered directly into the board and sit underneath the main PCB. Any tips on where to troubleshoot would be appreciated!

    Hi Rebecca

    Its fairly difficult to trace your jack wiring its hard to tell whether your I and O black wires go to your jack ground lugs

    Do you get bypassed sound

    What are the colour bands on R3

    Agreed it is hard to see but I think I have it.
    Try switching the wiring at the Jacks as shown in the photo below.
    I think you have your audio and ground wiring mixed up.
    Switch the red arrow wires with each other and then do the same to the green arrow wiring.
    I hope that makes sense but if not just ask.
