hi guys i built a paralooper today from a verified stripboard layout http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/bcreekmur/paralooper.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1
its my 3rd pedal build my 1st was a mammoth clone and 2nd a fuzz factory both went very well and worked 1st time.
Im getting sound through the pedal fine when switched off but when on its very quiet and the blend pot is not doing anything! ive tried a little debugging and looking at the guts of the paralooper on http://www.moosapotamus.net/THINGS/paraloop.htm and tried wiring like that one but i dont think the strip board and the pcb are the same, Is there anyone kind enough to help me out and tell me how the jacks and switch are wired on this?? 4 jacks blew my mind and 3 grounds coming off the board! Cheers guys hope you can help

this is how ive ended up sould give you guys a laugh! ;D

return to return jack tip
input ground to input jack sleeve
ground to send jack sleeve
send to send jack tip
input to switch
output ground to output jack sleeve

then switch DPDT

i have                          l -- l
           input jack tip      l    l     output jack tip
           input (board )    l    l     2 of volume pot just because nothing was going to there :icon_redface:

looking at other diagrams would i be right in thinking all jacks should be connected by the sleeve tab?? maybe input to switch or input ground to switch?? ground to input sleeve? so where is output ground going, to switch?    ??? am i getting close?
