SOLVED Six String Stinger

[yazooligan]

Sound comes through in bypass, but no sound when the footswitch is engaged.

I haven’t soldered an LED in yet; does it need one to complete the circuit?

Also my first time using the PPCB smd J201’s, and I used legs from 100uf capacitors for leads. They fit snug in the sockets.

Confirm that you have your Input & Output jacks plugged in the right way.

I’m not sure what you mean. The wiring from the 1/4” jacks looks correct according to the build docs. I’m running a ground (white wire) from each Jack to the main PCB. The hot (yellow wire) from each Jack runs to the 3PDT PCB. As in the photos, the input has the right angle plug (running to left-most pad on the 3pdt PCB) and the output has the straight plug (running to the right-most pad on the 3pdt PCB). The DC Jack is connected to the correct pads as far as I can tell.

Is your Guitar plugged into Input jack on PCB, Is Output jack going to the Amp.
Sometimes it will work backwards in Bypass mode!

SOLVED:

My wiring was correct, and I had the jacks plugged in correctly.
I went through all my connections between the boards and wires and re-flowed a few solder joints.
I pulled and re-seated all four of the J201’s and wired in my LED.
I’m not sure which of those steps fixed the problem, but the pedal now works and sounds great.
Thanks folks!

What do you mean by re-seated? Can you confirm they had the right orientation in your pictures?
