Anyone up for troubleshooting?

[DeeBattery]

I just completed a Conqueror Fuzz clone. I've done 7 pedals before this and made sure to get all the joints and values right. I give it 9v and I got nothing. I was so pissed I bought a clone on ebay to check against what I did and it looks damn similar. I'm will to ship to you to figure it out. Anyone up for it? I have not installed a LED yet but don't think that matters.

We would be happy to help you troubleshoot your build right here if that’s ok with you. Might save you the cost of postage. Can you share some pics of your board?

and no, the LED doesn’t matter

If you need a specific shot let me know and thanks

Do you have bypass?

Where do you live? I might be able to help.

Transformer doesn't look soldered. Or am I seeing things?

 

[carlinb17]

I think it’s soldered in the wrong area

 

[matt3310]

Can you post a pic of the back side of the board?

Any chance the hot wire from the output jack is touching the back of that one potentiometer? On that note, are you not using dust caps at all?

Also the bottom lug of the spdt switch seems like it's not soldered, but that could be the angle.

It may not be the problem but this is not good!

Those connections all look like they should be able to be soldered from the 4 or 3 holes and still be the same connection. I'm close to Chicago and I came take this apart in a few min to show the backside.

I checked with a multimeter and it's clean from 6 to1. Nothing is touching and bare connections

Do you have sound in bypass?

Here is another thread from earlier this month with placement

Does This Conqueror Fuzz 42TM013 Orientation Look Right

Fam, Does this look right to you? There's a lot of holes and I don't want to goof this up! Thanks in advance.

according to PedalPCB in the other thread, the wires on the transformer are in the wrong holes.

I do have sound in bypass. So the only joint made on the 2ndary side is the middle?

 

[matt3310]

Worth a try

That’s what the other one reports, I actually have two of those pcbs coming tomorrow so keep us posted please

 

[DeeBattery]

Alright, I'll take the 2 outside legs out of the 2ndary out.
