Check to see if the individual leads from Footswitch Breakout board & PCB are not touching each other ie Solder Blobs!Hi All,
I finished (well, almost..) my Triangulum kit today. It's working fine when it's on, but when the pedal is bypassed no signal can be heard. I'll attach a photograph of my build here.
Any ideas where should I start troubleshooting? Many thanks in advance.

The Plot Thickens!!!Many thanks for all the responses so far. I have to admit that I did originally solder the switch/breakout board upside down - I had to resolder it to original position before finishing the build. There's a possibility I did use excess heat during the repair process and thus it doesn't work when bypassed.
I'll check the connections and will follow @zgrav 's tips regarding metering tomorrow. Let's see how it works out.
Pull the Footswitch apart & it exposes the 9 pins from inside.I did the tests, and I can confirm that when the bypass is on the legs 2 and 3, legs 8 and 9 and legs 3 and 9 are all connected. So, my conclusion is that the footswitch is broken. (I didn't check the operability of the switch before reinstallation of the breakout board.)
I have a spare footswitch at hand, but should I replace the breakout board as well? I'm going to need to use some heat for desoldering braid and soldering to the new footswitch, I'm afraid too much heat would damage the board as well.

Just to be clear -- in bypass mode, does this mean you have connectivity between pins 2 and 8?
