Clyde McCoy Clone...HELP!!!!!

[jcsus]

I just finished building a Clyde McCoy Wah and for some reason it makes no sound!

Where do I start the investigation process? I know all my input/output wiring is correct, so obviously its my circuit board.

What tools do I need to check my circuit?

I can post pictures if need be.

PS
Here is the layout I used (the bottom one)



Thanks,

JCS

I just picked up a multimeter today.

I read the Debugging article after I posted...

Next time I'll look through the forums before posting!

Side note- I'll be checking everything over tonight and will update on my findings. Then I will add pictures, parts used etc.

I proud to say....!

It works. And quite beautifully! 

1st problem was a short because of the way I mounted it.

2nd problem was with the bc109b pinout.

If you notice below the pinout on the bottom crosses the leads.

Apparently I didn't!!!



PS I will always remember to read the FAQ and DEBUGGING INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't take it personal guys!!!

Last pedal I built was an Octave/Fuzz



And it glows in the dark!!!


When I got it all done, it didn't work either. Turns out I crossed my ground and supply. I used the wrong color wire and confused myself.

Oh now that's just plain cool.
