Sorry for no updates, been busy with work, family, xmas, etc. I'll provide updates later today after I clean the board with contact cleaner and reflow all the joints again. Thanks again everyone for the help so far!!

Charge pump is a TC1044S and the output and input were rewired according to the diagram posted earlier (the ring was soldered to the wrong post)

Confirmed, its a vdc center negative. I'm using a DA-1 as pictured

Great news, cause I removing that switch is damn near impossible lol

Well that aint good lol Now to solder suck and try to remove it

Process of elimination, I changed it to the original center negative and am using a Daneclectro 9v 200ma power supply that is not modified. No change

What do you mean footswitch adapter board is upside down? Should the actual switch be sitting on that text?

Ok, weird coincidence, but may help in troubleshooting. I removed the opamps and reflowed everything (as per carlinb17's suggestion of the cold joints) I then plugged it in (minus the 3 opamps) without realizing. Same result as before, led comes on for 1-2 seconds, sputters 1-2 seconds then goes...

I'm using a Weller 25watt, is not not enough?

Just confirmed, caps are oriented in right direction, so my schematic matches the board.

Hmmm, I'm checking my diagram and the C3 and C11 and is positive up. Do you have a pcb revision for the board you posted? Mines a pcb003, maybe the schematic I downloaded is not the right revision?

No, it contains lead. light duty rosin core.

Here are the updated pictures :)

Oh and sorry for the delay in response, I was work during the week and didn't have a chance to troubleshoot. The help is very much appreciated :)

Thanks, that was one problem. The pedal now passes very low volume in both bypass and on. Led does not light up, and tone control shrieks when over 1oclock.

If you're refering to the 9v, yes the center is positive on purpose. I ordered metal 9v jacks thinking they would be superior, but forgot the polarity is center negative and positive would conduct against the enclosure. Waiting on plastic jacks as we speak, the 9v adapter has been modified for...

Just reflowed and cleaned off excess flux, same issue. I also checked, no bridges between solder (may appear in picture, but those are plastic hair from cleaning with a brush)

Thanks guys!! I just checked the switch layout and it matches what mcknib's diagram. I'm cleaning the flux and reflowing right now. I'll let you know in a few minutes if it worked. Yes it was powered by 9v when I tried sound. No sound travels through in either mode

Hey everyone!! I finally took the plunge and ordered a Kliche overdrive (2 actually) to build. Followed the parts list and ordered off Tayda, spent an evening building and hit a roadblock. Led is always on, gets slightly brighter when engaging the pedal and passes no sound, on or "off". Checked...
