even when being tested outside of the box?If that is a metal frame dc jack it could be shorting the power supply.
Possibly. I'm not familiar with that jack, but it looks suspect.even when being tested outside of the box?

can you be a little more specific i cant see the pad youre talking aboutone of those pads on the left look unsoldered?
Maybe under the switch too?
This is what I was gonna say. Definitely looks to be wired backward, but I'm not experienced with those particular jacksNo, but it looks like it might be wired up backwards.
The center pin should be negative unless you're using a non-standard power supply.
we have light now!!!!No, but it looks like it might be wired up backwards.

i would have been back sooner but i had to play with the pedal for a little. that was it, it works perfectly now thank you so muchGuitar effects pedals typically have the DC jack wired up backwards compared to most other electronics in the world.
Normally the center pin of a DC jack is positive and the outer sleeve is negative/ground, but in our case it's opposite.
This is why you can't use a metal frame DC jack in a metal enclosure.
