Yup, tested both C3 and C10 and no audio. Jumpers also did not solve the issue.

So I was advised to rotate the Transistor, which now sends audio down leg 2/middle leg, but the audio stops at that leg. According to the schematic, it's supposed to go to C3 and C10, however the audio is not present after leg 2.

Made an audio probe and confirmed that the audio comes in, goes up the right leg of Q1 and just never leaves. Not sure why. Jumpers laid according to the schematic don't help. I am fully at a loss now...

I'll try tinning the legs and see what happens. Meanwhile, here are the readings i get from the Transistors and the IC:- Q1 1- 9.12 2- 0.28 3- 0.00 Q2- 1- 3.90 2- 2.36 3- 9.12 Q3 1- 2.43 2- 1.75 3- 2.42 Q4 1- 9.12 2- 0.31 3- 0.00 Q5 (boost - Functioning) 1- 4.65 2- 2.24 3- 0.19 IC (Counter...

Eliminated the actual switch as the problem, continuity seen between lugs. I am super stumped. Just seems like the signal can't get past Q1 but I'm unsure as to why. Only the distortion pot has any current flow, the others are dead. I am super stumped...

IPA is on its way. everywhere near me that sells it is strangely in lockdown. Please find below under the pots - Nothing touches, tried putting cardboard between and nothing changed:

Solder Side of the Board:

It does the same thing whether it's out of the enclosure or in it, sadly, so I can eliminate shorts against the enclosure at least...

Shall do when I get off work. I've reflowed them once already but once more can't hurt. It just seems like power gets to Q1 and then nothing leaves either leg. This is the same for both JFETs in the kit in that position. Seems like something is shunting everything to ground but I can't figure...

So there Appears to be nothing going from Q1 which is killing the signal. Reading from left to right, I have 9V on leg one, 0.28 on leg two and 0.00 on leg three. I tries swapping the JFET with the same one and nothing changed. Is this a grounding/powerissue?

I'm using the ones supplied with the kit and as indicated in the build documents, so PF5102 and 2x 2n5089/1x2n5087. Some current tracing gave the following (all directions looking at the component side of the board): 1) There is power, thought the boost gave this away. 2) Of the rat/octave...

All seem to be seat very well, but still nothing. I'm a bit rusty with a multimeter, what should I be looking for in terms of current flow and indicative hotspots?

So I reversed the diodes that were wired in incorrectly, fired it up and...still no fuzz. Anyone want to give this a look over before I dig out the audio probe?

Hey there, I've built before but not with Pedalpcb. I picked up this kit to build, excited to try it out but after wiring up, there is no sound or functioning LEDs when the pedal's engaged. It passes sound, so that's at least something. The guts look like as below, it's late so I can add other...
