After completing a PCB design for the simple pedal in KiCAD, we had it printed. In the lab, we soldered some of the components to the PCB like the diode, battery connector, capacitors and audio jacks. This was good practice as I'd never soldered on a PCB before. We also went over the difference between film capacitors and electrolytic capacitors that tend to be polarized and learned how they "filter" signals. As of now, we are waiting for the transistor and pot to come in so we can test the mini pedal.
