help debugging newbie TS-808

[jlullo]

hey guys... i made a post earlier on tonight about my battery heating up.  I was able to put the battery back in and get all of the info i needed to debug, but by the time i finished taking measurements it had started to heat up again.  Can you guys please help me figure this out?

I followed the layout exactly, and built for asymmetrical clipping.  When I was done with the board, I wired the pedal for millennium bypass as found on tonepad's website.  I mounted the resistor for the LED on a blank space on the board.  There were no parts substitutions or modifications.

When I turn it on, the LED flickers when I hit the switch, but never turns on.  There is no sound when the pedal is on or bypassed at all.

  First thing I do is test that NON continuity between the battery clip -/+ isn't happening, sometimes clipping the DMM on Beep to the Bclip buttons While moving stuff, like the circuit into the box.

  This is certainly caused by a bypass sw or jack miswire.

  The circuit will not bias at this voltage, a fresh battery is needed, test for shorts before connecting the battery.

  '1 '2' and '3' represent CBE, but I don't know whichswhich, use C, B, and E to indicate collector base and emitter

You will need a new battery to test voltages, first get the shorts figured out.

how do i test for shorts?  also, how do i test for non continuity between on the battery clip?

sorry, i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed

  Look in the DMM manual for diode checking, or continuity checking, maybe your DMM's l ike mine...look for a ---->l---- symbol on the meter dial, set it there, touch the leads together and hear a beep...when connected directly or through some other material, a beep will sound, this means resistance is extremely low...enough that you can figure it as a 'connection.
  You want NoN connection at battery clip +/- poles.

i will check that first thing tomorrow, as soon as i return this DMM and get a new one i just got it tonight and it's instruction manual doesn't have any info on how to use it, and i can't find any info on it online.  It also doesn't have the beep function!
