Title: Tone Pad Sans Amp Problem - Flashing LED
Post by: grooveshysta on March 03, 2012, 01:25:00 PM
Hello,

This is my first build but I have built many other projects with great success. This has stumped me. I had it working outside of the enclosure. I put it in a metal stomp box and when I connect up the power, the LED just slowly flashes.

The only thing I have changed is the LED from green to Red. I have only got it plugged into a wall power supply. It puts out 9v but it fluctuates when connected to the circuit.

I don't know where to start and which components to check. Any tips on checking components would be great too!

Thank you

  If it's true bypass, go right for the separate [common to the signal circuit only at the power supply.
   The LED/Resistor are functioning, the switch maybe, check the wires also.
