Hi, I`ve scoured the search function but to no avail on this, i built the Tonepad TS a while back and it fired up 1st time but i never used it live much as i felt it lacked gain so  after a while i made few changes which would increase the gain(where i read them i cant remember) and it worked no problem but once again the pedal lay until i needed a pot from it for another pedal, so eventually when i put the pedal all back together it worked but the overall output was and still is very low, almost non existent but what i can hear is the full drive sound of the pedal so the effect is there. I wired it as it had been wired, but may be its as simple as a wiring mistake and i just cant see it, i`ll try later tonight and rewire it again. I used this wiring diagram from the Tonepad site, Offboard Wiring 5   http://www.tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=76
thanks Crawf.

Hi, No it does work including all pots,but its just barely audible, the amp i use is a tiny Marshall MS-2 but its loud enough to annoy the household and it ideal when constructing pedals, so with the TS on up full and the amp up full i can hear the distortion but very faintly, since my first post i have discovered a strange cap value so i`ll investigate further, thanks Crawf.
