Firs full build from parts list. Solder joints are good. Voltage is right. Just not getting any sound when pedal is on.
Been trying to figure this out and since I'm new at pedal building I feel like I'm missing something that somebody with experience would know very easily.
Thanks for any help. Forgive my lack of experience but I'm very determined to get good at this and learn.

All the wires are the same colour, so it would be *extremely* easy to connect the wrong croc clip to the wrong wire. The jacks also have multiple connection points, so it would be *extremely* easy to connect the wires to the wrong one.

There's a lot of possibilities for simple errors in the wiring. That's what RG means.
