OK so I have done everything here except the led. When I plug my cord in to the input the effect will not arm. What could I have done wrong?

Detailed pictures of your pedal would help us figure it out.

Also, see the "debugging..." thread stickied at the beginning of this forum.

I'll see if I have enough battery power ro get a pic.

Here is more detail.

I have everything hooked up like the pic shows except I did wire in the 9v jack or LED. I also dont have a monetary sitch so I desoldered the old switch and put in to legs to touch together to act as the switch. That part works fine untill I plug in to the input jack. Once I do that the LED goes out and it will not come on. It works fine when I plug in to the output.

Check your input jack...it looks like a shorting jack, not a stereo jack.

also, it looks like you wired the output jack (off board) wrong, youve connected the tip of the off board to the ground of the pcb jack on the circuit, and yes your not using a stereo jack for your input, its a switching mono jack your using


uh! and i no why, dano's layout has those misleading jack lug placements again
no offence dano, your a great guy who does excellent work

ok, this is the way it should be wired
