Taqueria not sounding at all

PCB

New member
Hello I did my first DIY kit with this taqueria but when all finished, the bias done properly and so on... the pedal doesn´t sound at all.

The courious thing is that even switched off the signal doen´t pass throught to the amp, should it?.

I´ve had a read with the tester and the IC is getting reads, and JFets look right as the bias is totally normal, not sure if it could be a wiring error or.... no idea but is a bit heartbreaking.

I´m trying checking continuity to find the broken something but not sure

Anyone could through some light/help over please? thanks in advance!

It looks like your input jack might be wired incorrectly. If so, that would definitely render the pedal silent both when on and in bypass.
 
It was really frustrating for me that the in/out jacks had 3 conections and didn´t found how to wire this kind of jacks
And I used the central for ground and the tip for in out in both, then this is not correct?
 
Not sure at all how to wire it then:cry: The wiring diagram is without the switch pcb then not sure if the wires are soldered in the propper place and my jacks had tips to connect not 2 then it was confusing and even trying to find how to in the web was imposible, the only thing I founf was the ring ground and the tip the red one

It worked!!! thousen of thanks 🙌
That's great. I suggest you explore the trimpots to find the Taco settings that work best for you. I initially set mine to the voltages shared by owners of the JHS pedal but I found better settings for my rig. I love this pedal, it's my dirt pedal when I perform solo.
 
Could you share them to try them please!!!
I use to have 9.3v in position Superbolt and 6,7v 9.3v 0.7v in position Taco as it was suggested for both originals but would be great hear about yours!!! @andare
