Effects repair DIY - Drolo Kiwami

[basexperience]

Bought a Kiwami from @Lunoxx - thanks again mate, superb pedal - which needed some TLC and a pot replacement. 
 

I’m no electronics engineer, but I know enough to replace parts like for like, and I’ve fixed a few circuit boards in my time. I jumped on the chance to get one of these mad filter pedals, and the repair was interesting. 
 

I detailed some of the job on here:

anyone else repair their own electronics? I learned a lot on this job, particularly about desoldering.

Great work - I spied the drolo in the for sale, and figured it would be an easy fix - but would have boarded space for it!!

 

It will work, but for next time replacing the links between the boards with the longer cables isn’t best idea… there’s the aim to keep tracks to the minimum you can to fit it all in, and also in some cases thr circuitry that the cables are looped over might cause noise in the signal.
Nice work though! Tayda are a legit cheap supplier, a lot of parts are generic so you could have found any pot the same size and value.
