Well it works IF I plug the input cable halfway in only... No clue why. If I plug it all the way in I get neither bypassed signal, effect signal nor a lit LED. Plugged halfway it works 100%.


So I'm guessing I got the input wired wrong, but I have no idea how. I used a jack diagram as I'm not too confident with stereo in/outputs but it didn't quite work out.

Please help? It's most likely a matter of only swapping two wires, so I'm very close :D

are you using a stereo cable?  if you are, then that would be your problem...

stereo input jacks are commonly wired like this:

Nah mono cable, and yeah my input was wired wrong. I had another diagram which was wrong. She's all finished and sounds amazing! Thanks for the help guys.
