First build problem! (Amentum Boost)

[Erochette]

I made my first build today but it’s unfortunately not working. Im a real newbie so I was wondering what is the prodedure to troubleshoot pedal. How to measure current in the circuit? And how many volt should it have in the circuit?

Thank you all!!

Can you provide a picture of the other side of the board?

What is it doing or not doing? Does the led light up? (It looks like you might have the legs touching)

Where did you source your transistor from and are you sure of your off board wiring?

Agreed. We need to know the “symptoms” to tell you what the problem is. Does it work in bypass? Is there no signal whatsoever or very little signal? Does the volume pot work? We need to see the solder side of the board too.

probably a solder bridge.... what is it doing and not doing?

 

[Erochette]

Finally got sound from it!!! Only the LED is not working. Sorry for the dumb question but is it normal that the pedal have no sounds at all at minimum volume?

Yep, I believe that's normal.

In the pic it looks like the leads of your LED are bridged together, if so that's your problem.
