Need help with Parenthesis Fuzz pedals

[johnnyhammerandgrind]

I've built two Parenthasis Fuzz pedals ( one for me and one for a pal) and neither work. Any help is appreciated.

I've tried to post more pics- but everything I try to post says the file is too big...

Are you getting any sound at all? Bypassed or not?

On the first one:
Bypass works
First switch will add volume and the volume pot responds
Seconds switch will tun on led but same sound as bypass
Third switch shut the sound off entirely

On the second one
Bypass works
First switch - no sound, but moving the volume knob on the pedal up and down creates a detectable "swoosh"
second switch no effect on the sound but clean signal from guitar will come through.
third switch shuts everything off.


Also- what is the trick to posting photos?

Gotta change the size before you post. When you go to add the image and choose your library, once you click on the photos you want to add (and before you add them) you can change the size of the photo (I believe bottom right) from actual size to small, medium and large. Large should be fine, but you have to change it from actual size.

Unlock the board from the enclosure, take it out and flip it for a pic of the solder side and post that, too.

Also, set your DMM to beep (continuity) and put a probe on each lug of your switches and the other probe on its downstream component-lead counterpart; if the DMM doesn't beep, reflow those corresponding solder joints.
