Photon Vibe very small sound

Finally, I found the problem!
It was a bad soldered joint on one pin of the first Op-Amp.

Now everything works! It was just hard to adjust the trimpots.
The sound is really great, that's a cool pedal!

But, there is something weird with it.
It works only when I use an old Zoom (9V - 300mA) and old Korg (9V - 600mA) power supply.
I tried my Cioks Schizophrenic, some recent power supply (1A, 1.3A, 500mA), the pedal works but only the Volume, Low and Treble pots.
I don't know how to measure the current draw of the pedal.

Did you meet a similar trouble?
 
Current draw is easy enough to find out with a DMM. Just hook it up to the pedal's power jack and select the appropriate amperage range on your DMM. It'll be under 1 amp.
