When Things Go Wrong

Seeking Help
The following pages cover common problems and how to fix them.
If those don't help, though, head over to reddit.com/r/maseffects to post pictures of your build and a brief description of the trouble you're having. This is the preferred and quickest way to get your problem resolved.
Other DIY pedal communities such as r/diypedals, diystompboxes.com, or freestompboxes.org are great too, but you'll need to provide them with additional context like a schematic and links to the build docs.
Finally, if none of that works for you, send an email.
Why Reddit?
Reddit offers a more visual experience compared to traditional forums. This is perfect for sharing completed pedals, or pics of PCBs when you're having a problem. It also has built-in support for getting notified when people reply, has native mobile apps, and is free.It's a great platform for niche communities. For example you may also enjoy: r/diypedals, r/guitarpedals, r/diyelectronics, or r/diytubes. I DO NOT, however, recommend using its popular subreddits (i.e., anything you find on its main page, r/all, or r/popular) which are often toxic.
