Nutty fuzz: Pdt wiring issue?

[cozycam]

Here's some pics. I can post a video if needed. I think the issue is with my 3Pdt wiring but I'm not sure. Power led isn't in yet but I covered the holes and close the enclosure when testing.

Side note, Is the expression input meant for a 100k pedal?

It looks like you have your positive and negative wires backwards at the dc jack to pcb pads.

The pic does look like that but I double checked, longer peg from DC jack goes to positive.

I hate soldering wires to things so those connection are never pretty lol

look at where the positive is on the pcb.

Here's a better angle. The bare wire is on the negative side of the jack. Glob of solder just makes it look longer.

Ah I see it now, It looked like it was all star grounded.

The wiring on this one is a little different.

It isn't a buffered bypass effect and isn't designed to work with that breakout board.

Thank you. Dumb question, If I use a breakout board, is everything but the bypass (5th point on PCB?) the same?

Or should I just bite the bullet and wire it with no breakout board?

Here's how mine is wired, using the standard bypass breakout board

Thank you for this. I was about to make the same mistake.
