This is my second pedal build. Thanks for any advice in advance.
I am troubleshooting outside of the enclosure
I removed the 2n404 transistors for the photos. I added a bunch of SIP so that I could test different components in the circuit.
When it is not plugged in, and the footswitch is disengaged I can get sound.
When it is plugged in, I can not get sound
If it is not plugged in, and the footswitch is disengaged and I am hearing sound, once I connect only the ground from the DC jack, the sound cuts off.
I have been able to measure voltage across most of the board, I haven't gone pin by pin yet
If I connect +/- as the board calls for, the LED does not light up.
If I inverse the +/- the LED will light up
I can get voltage readings at C3. I can not get any voltage readings at the volume knob. I have re soldered the volume knob.
