I didn't get a 2x4 header or socket, but I did get the wiring board...so I tried to use it. The pedal definitely works, but if I turn the RATIO knob a full turn clockwise, which I think is the WET signal, it's definitely quieter...the closer back to 12 o'clock you go, the louder it gets...so, I've been reading a bunch of post and I see a lot of issues similar, so I'm starting by checking the switch.

The spots that aren't numbered (seems like they are 3 and 6)...do I need to connect those too? At the moment, they are not connected.

Thanks!!

So, I went back and looked at the other side of the board and there are definitely traces going to those empty pads, so I went ahead and connected them and it sounds a whole lot better...I think that was my problem :)

That's good because to be honest I didn't know if it would/should make a differance. I figured if it was soldered on the switch than that should be good enough but I wasn't sure. Switches are still a bit of a mystery to me (along with a bunch of other things)
