EPisode Booster troubleshooting

[noah.bro22]

Hi everyone,

I just finished this build and after plugging in I got no sound. I have done a lot of trouble shooting, but still can't fire out where the error is. Here's what I have tried so far, and the problems I've had

• Sound goes through when the pedal is off
• When engaged there is no sound/led does not turn off
• I have swapped 3 DC power jacks
• Tried 2 different FS. One with PCB wiring, and one hand wired.
• Tried 2 different LEDs
• Checked that a all resistors, caps, diodes, etc are correct.
• Checked that there is current from the input to the output of the PCB. there is.
• I have only run this at 9v
• Tried grounding in the enclosure and outside
• Tried adjusting the trimmer pot

The only other thing I noticed was that some diodes on the website show them alternating direction on the PCB. However, the PCB I have shows them side by side in the same direction.

I appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hi
Your brown wire isn't soldered on the correct connection so the board isn't powered.

Glad you finally make it work.
