Klon Klone

[hulsmeier]

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me.

I've built the Klon Klone pedal following the top schematic from this brilliant website http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/klon-centaur.html.
This the second pedal I've built and as usual when it comes to plugging in it doesnt work.

I have a feeling I've messed the offboard wiring. The Led does not light up, theres no sound either. I can get some faint noise when touching the 5th and 6 th terminal on the footswitch. Does anyonee have a clue as to what it could be?

Please help, I look forward to your replies

I've had a few Klons that had LED and switching issues. The DPDT's I use (X-wing type) often have issues with the middle lug that connects to ground. It pops out of place very easily during soldering. I don't know why that lug in particular does it, but it's worth checking out.

If that isn't it, I'd double check the vero and maybe run a hobby knife between the traces just to be sure.

May not necessarily be the offboard wiring because the effect is buffered bypass.  I did my best to look it over based on your photo, but it's tricky to follow twists of the same color of wire.

I would second the suggestion of running a knife between the traces.  While you have it out, snap a second photo of the back side of that board.  Maybe something can be spotted there.

Otherwise, start collecting the info suggested in: "DEBUGGING - What to do when it doesn't work"

^ typing while I was looking.

welcome, hulsmeler. did you test yr unit before putting it into the box? I see a lot of opportunities for jambs, there.
