I'm absolutely baffled and need help.

I'm making a big muff pi green guitar pedal and I got everything soldered in and wired up. It is wired for true bypass and when the effect is off, my guitar goes through, but when the effect is on, it makes absolutely no sound at all. What could be the problem?

Probably should have added more of my problem on there. I would do all of that, but this problem is kind of specific, I think. I can get it to work every now and again, but it sounds like a light overdrive instead of a messy fuzz, even with the knobs up all the way. I used the schematic and stuff from tonepad, used the green big muff part list, and only modded C5 and C8 to .033 uf instead of .047 uf.

Oh... in that case this should help:

Haha. Thanks guys. Next time, I'll do that. I figured it out out though!.

Share your solution. It always helps to leave knowledge for the next person. Even if it's a forehead slapping mistake, you aren't the first to make it, and won't be the last, so tell us what happened and how you fixed it.

A wire on a potentiometer of mine came unsoldered and I had a lead from a resistor that I clipped off connecting several parts of the circuit. I'm surprised that it didn't ruin anything. Also, when you are checking your wiring and rewire the entire thing completely, make sure that you put a resistor between the + wire and the led. I blew like 3 leds doing that. *face palm*
