hey guys....i put together a dirt pedal today and the led is on in both bypass and on.  lol--what gives, man?  i have the 'negative' lead going to a common lug on the footswitch, where it always goes.....the other is going to my DC jack (and the "CLR")

how can it not work?! lol-   a faulty 3pdt?  i have no clue.   thank you very much for any help.

Beo

Probably because there is 9v on one end, and 0v on the other, always.  :icon_twisted: Voltron to the rescue... ohm and volt out the connections... you should find an error or bad switch pretty quick. probably stomp switch wired incorrectly.

Hmm....that makes sense. lol-    wonder what i done wrong.  Voltron is on the way!  thanks- i'll double check wiring.  i was out of the loop for a couple days.  if i can';'t nail it down, i'll post a pic.
