So I followed the wiring diagram to a t except no battery clips and I'm not getting any sound seems like everything is wired correctly the less work when I click the switches but not getting anything else not even in bypass.. ..though I did find another diagram that had the 3pdt wired differently..can any one help with this..it's my first build and I'm learning as I go.

hello, Guerilla86.

I have to ask you - what value are your LED resistors? they appear to have two silver bands, which would make them about 100X smaller than minimum, and the led brightness .... well, I can't imagine anything that bright.

I can't see clearly enough from your photos, but is there a chance you have wired the signal to the sleeve connection on the lower right-side jack? or any of the other jax? you need to run your multimeter over the signal connections, from input to output, and all puts between, to see if you have the correct continuities.
I feel sick.

The value is 1.5K or atleast that's what I asked for..don't have a multimeter..but looks like need to  invest one ..il post a better picture of the wiring when I get home.. but this is a picture of the leds on..

my eyes! I'm blind!! please, what are the colour bands on your resistors? and yes on the multimeter, it is the tool to debug every build.
I feel sick.

Haha..yeah I really didn't know what I waslooking for ..I asked the people at thw electronic store and they recommended that resistor..it's 2 red 2 silver bands

I wired the whole thing differently this time the LEDs are barely noticeable but still no sound..

well, I'd take those resistors back to the shop, because, by my reading, red/red/silver is 0R22, and silver is ten percent tolerance. a 1k5 would be brown/green/red and silver for 10% or gold for 5% or red for 2%. and if it were me, I'd get a couple of 4k7 and a couple of 10k and a couple of 15k, just to make sure I didn't blind any pilots.

again. still, you could pick up a meter while you're there (but I would not be asking for their recomendations ......)
