Hi all...I've been building clones for a bit and feel comfortable doing builds on perf, vero, and PCB's just fine. So I decided to try my hand at DipTrace and see if I can recreate a known circuit from schematic to PCB as an experiment before going all in on my own designs.. So cracked open DipTrace, loaded up the rubywow libraries, went through the tutorial(s) and I "thought" I had a handle on it... sent off the Gerber to JLCPCB and ordered 5 boards to test out... few days later, i get the boards and go straight to soldering... And then it all went to doo doo..
I get zip for sound when testing the board, and the LED doesn't even light up. tried two of them, carefully inspected all solder joints and connections and things "seem" ok.. so clearly I flubbed something in either the schematic or the PCB.
So I'm asking the brain trust here because A.) this forum rocks and B.) there are some VASTLY more knowledgeable people here than I, who always help out.. Would any of you gurus take a peek at my schematic and PCB layout and see if you can spot what I did wrong. I am 10000% positive it is my mistake, I just don't know enough to know what I goofed.
Screenshots attached are my attempt at recreating the Ginormous Fuzz (based on the insanely awesome Frost Giant Massif)
I can provide the DipTrace files as well, if needed.
Any assistance is much appreciated!!
