Please help with Kliche Overdrive before I go nuts

[bzdunowski]

I have built a lot of pedals and all were 100% functional but I I just finished this Kliche and it doesn’t work. When the pedal is off the sound bypasses fine. When on the LED comes on but that’s it no sounds. Watch the video on YouTube for the visual details Video here

Also FYI D9E diodes the blue stripe is positive so they are not backwards unless the image on the PCB is wrong

Are C16 and C18 facing the right direction? Little hard to tell from the photos.

The issue with the Kliche is the diagram at Schematic is that it is an old version of the board. If you notice under IC3 is a row of 4 caps then 3 caps under it on the schematic but on my version of the board it’s a row of 3 the 4 under it.

Gotcha. I was having a hard time lining things up. I chalked it up to being on my phone, but that makes sense.

I've not built one, so I won't be of much help then. Someone smarter than me will wander through here soon, I'm sure. Good luck with the build!

Have you checked ic voltages?

UPDATE it’s the switch. I took it off and it works. So now to figure out what was wired wrong on the switch.

I think I had the same issue a few days ago. Maybe try it without the breakout board?
