King of Nothing, no sound when engaged.

Really excited to put this together and felt like I did a pretty decent job building this beast, but I've messed something up along the way. Wondering if the fine pros here can help. I know, as a high voltage pedal, there needs to be some care when tinkering. I've read some of the other threads, but still can't work out what's wrong.

I get output in bypass, when I engage the pedal, my LED turns on, but I get no sound output. Any help would be greatly appreciated as im really stoked to get this running.

So, one update, checking voltages, I get about 9.45 at the v+ pad, but I'm getting less than 9v (8.8v) on the cathode pad of D2. I know this is supposed to be the HV rail, so not sure where I went wrong.

Another update. Looks like I put in a 560k resistor in the power section instead of a 560r, I'm hoping replacing this to the correct value will fix it.

560k instead of 560R will definitely prevent it from working correctly as that is the resistor that sets the high voltage.

Final update, it was that damn resistor. Had a bag full of 560k in my drawer marked 560r. She's singing like a bird now.

Excellent, glad to hear it!

Thanks man, super fun pedal to build and play
