Another gig tonight, another pedal not working.. Please help me!

[JPGraphX]

Switch seems to work good

[Pojo]

Looks like the signal wire at the input jack is connected to the sleeve instead of tip....save the sleeve terminal for the battery negative if you're using one when you box it.

[JPGraphX]

Not sure what you mean Pojo, you looked at my pics?

[JPGraphX]

is my dc input Ok? Would I have led working if not?

[Hemmel]

Pojo meant the "ring", not sleeve. The ring connection on input jack is usually reserved for the ground connection of a battery clip.

On that last pic you're showing us the output jack. Check the input jack (stereo) and make sure your "in" wire is really soldered to the tip lug, not the ring.

[Pojo]

Yes ring, my bad...typed in a hurry!! thanks for correcting

[JPGraphX]

Yes it is, and Im not using battery.

[JPGraphX]

Mannnn I must find that bug :@

[rousejeremy]

The solder lug of the input jack tip isn't touching the metal between the plastic spacers of the ring connection is it? I've seen that before.

[Hemmel]

Let's recap (correct if I'm wrong) :

Switch OFF
- NO guitar signal
- Connectivity tip-tip : OK (can you double-check this please ?)

Switch ON
- NO guitar signal but humming sound
- Connectivity tip-tip : NONE

Switch looks ok...
Can you tell me where the center lug of the switch goes ? Ground of PCB ?

[GGBB]

I'm still concerned about a short between I and F

That actually will not be a problem according to the wiring diagram - but it does look shorted to me too.

It almost sounds as if your input is grounded out completely.

I agree !

Same here - check tip to ground continuity.

[JPGraphX]

Ok I have found something, tip to tip switch off working, and all you said is right BUT ring to tip is also continuity.. Why

[Hemmel]

Check ground to ring. If ring also connects to ground, that's where your signal is going.
There is some solder on the ring lug, I'm guessing something was soldered there before ?

That ring to tip connectivity is quite weird...

[JPGraphX]

No ring to ground continuity but with à cable in it, it surely goes to ground.. I kind of twist it and no more continuity ring-tip

[JPGraphX]

Unfortunately, no amp to test it while on road

[JPGraphX]

Someone can confirm that it was the problem? So I stop looking for it!

[JPGraphX]

One Last question, is it normal that unplug I have no tip-tip continuity? It must be normal?

[JPGraphX]

Unplug: I mean no DC connected

[Hemmel]

It's possible the continuity is cut because the switch is not on bypass position.

Also, yes, if your tip and ring were shorted, then plugging a jack would short ring and sleeve, thus sending your signal direct to ground on the input jack.

Off topic and in French : c'est où ta gig J-P ? Tu peux me répondre en privé si tu veux
