Ocelot octave schematic

[Bradleedv]

So I can't seem to get the ocelot octave pedal to work. No signal. No power. I made the mistake of first powering it with the opposite polarity for a moment so I thought something may have burnt out replaced all the ic's and still nothing. Anyone have a schematic for this? Or have any idea where I should possibly start to troubleshoot? I'm somewhat of a newbie but I've built a dozen or so pedals and preamps. My guess would be to start early on in the DC signal path but I just don't know what that is without a schematic so any kind of direction would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks!

Does bypass work? Also, do you have a multimeter?

I don't know if bypass works or not. Led doesn't come on either way and I don't get any signal with it on or off. I do have a multimeter. What do you think I should be testing? And thanks so much for the reply

Start by posting pictures of the pedal so we can eyeball any obvious issues. Given that bypass doesn’t work, visual inspection may tell us if there are bad connections.

Took me forever to figure out how to make the image small enough to upload

Post a picture of the switch too (since you get no bypass). The board is really dirty. Use alcohol to scrub all the flow away. Hard to say but some solder joints may need reflowing too.

Schematic is in the build doc now.

Gotcha. I always wondered about how it should look. Thanks

Got it all cleaned up and still nothing. Gonna take a closer look and resolder some.
