Hi guys,

I recently bought this kit: Re-verb.
And I can't make it work.
I changed the components (except the reverb electronic tank: that's my way to call it sorry if it's not correct ^^) and the PCB one time and the second build was not successful again.
I rechecked all the value and the soldering or anything it could come from.

When I plug the stompbox I just get a huge buzz when engaging the FS. moreover, the LED doesn't even light up when it is FS is engaged.

Here are some pictures and the doc of the Re-verb. If it is not clear or if you need others picture just let me know.
I'm dying to finish that rebellious one x)

Thanks!

It looks like you have D1 installed backwards.  If so, you have probably killed your voltage regulator.

Edit:  Nevermind what I said about the regulator, I was looking at that part of the circuit backwards.  But yeah, D1 is installed backwards, which may have killed your external power supply (assuming you're not using a battery for this).

It looks like your board is grounded only to the DC-jack (and nothing else?). Check continuity between ground on the PCB and the 3pdt-board. If it reads open/infinte resistance solder a wire from the pcb (right next to the input pad for example) to either one of the jack sleeves or to ground on the 3pdt-board.
