Just to be clear - are we both talking about the new GGG Reverb, designed by Jermida, using the Belton Reverb 'brick'?
yep we are talking about the same unit. I said the picture is not correct because there is a discrepancy between the resistors R2-R5-R6 on the diagram and on the picture.

The only thing I was confused with the downside-up board is the way to connect the wires to the Potentiometer.

But anyway, with the effect engaged I get a weird sound, without guitar signal at all, and that sound is affected if I turn the knob ...

I've checked and rechecked the wiring against the gut pic of the Hermida pedal and other GGG built. Everything is in order. I've checked the board for bad contact or solder making contact where it shouldn't.
I've sent some pics to JD at GGG (but the pics are inverted because the only cam I have is the one on my Macbook ...). I'm waiting a reply from him.

This is my 10th built and the first time it went this bad ...
