Verb Deluxe from modkitsdiy.com
Hi, all-
I am so new at this, I am almost embarrassed to post a question.
I am trying to repair the above mentioned pedal. When I got it, it wouldnt work at all-looking inside, I could see several direct shorts, actually about 22 of them...also, several components were mis-wired, and one component was missing-jfet pf5102, no one locally had any of these in stock-I managed to find an mpf 102, and I subbed that for the 5102, and ther were several wires soldered where they didnt belong. I desoldered all of the wiring, put components in there correct places, resoldered wiring and plugged it in expecting to hear lush reverb----no effects. I have signal all the way thru, nut thats it-my mix knob has a minuscule effect, nothing dramatic, and there is no reverb whatsoever-
I rechecked for direct shorts
I have checked voltages at certain points in the layout, and they seem to be correct or within 5%.
Its inexpensive enough that it can be replaced, but I want to repair this for the experience.
Any help would be appreciated-
Thanks!

So, are you telling me its pointless to ask for help figuring something out? Believe it or not, there was a time you needed help too...Ive hit a speed bump, and I dont know enough yet to get around it-I've traced the wiring 3 times against the Final Assembly pic, and all of it matches up. I do not know what else to do, so that is the reason Im asking for help...

why don't you go through the debugging document provided by the company?
