Rotten Apple making a clicking sound

[jlees1264]

Had this one sitting around to build and decided while waiting for other parts to make this one.

Only audible sound is a ticking or clicking noise coming through when engaged. Everything seems to be soldered well and proper orientation.

I assume this has to be something related to power because I get a really low level background click through the amp when hooked to power and the circuit bypassed.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Looks like you've got a red wire connected to the DC ground point on the PCB. What side of your DC jack is that connected to?

The 13700 looks different than all I’ve ever had. What was your source. Assuming the the above isnt the issue, i believe these get faked
