Spirit Box Troubleshooting - Sound Passed, No Effect

[amosdixonxc]

Hello, I'm currently building a spirit box pedal, my first non-kit pedal. I have it fully assembled, but it is not functioning correctly. Here's the info I have:

- LED works, functions correctly with the footswitch.
- When the pedal is off, the sound passes unaltered.
- When the pedal is on, the sound passes with light static and no reverb effect.
- Turning pots does not change the sound.

Thanks everyone - this build has been driving me a bit crazy.

Are you sure about your in/out jack wiring? There are a lot of lugs going on with those jacks.

Yes - I double checked, the wiring looks wonky but its fairly straightforward - each one is connected to the space directly above it.

Hi,

Check the voltage at pin #1 of the brick. It should read right at 5VDC.

Do you have an audio probe?
