I tried to post a pic but it said the file was too large so I'll post one when I can compress it first. And I followed the build instructions exactly except the two circuits share the power since they're in the same enclosure.

I built a 2 in 1 (8 Ball, Slow Loris) and the circuits sound great! Problem is, when I put them in the enclosure, I lose signal whenever I turn on a circuit. If I wiggle it around, signal sometimes jumps out for a second but it's never permanent. I know this is a grounding issue but I don't understand what could be grounding out. I've got electrical tape over a lot of the connections to try and shield them.

So I reverse the diode and now the board is getting power, but I still don't have signal. The voltage at my IC and LED are still very low.

The 1n5817 was in backwards. Would explain why I wasn't getting power. I'll fix it and report back if I still have problems. Thanks!

I'm building an 8 Ball Slow Loris 2 in 1 and the 8 Ball side works great. But the Slow Loris only passes signal in bypass. The LED won't even come on. My switch is wired properly and all of my connections seem to be solid. I checked the voltage on my IC and it's practically 0V across each pin. I'm starting to think one of the capacitors or the transistor might be in backwards. Is there any easy way to test for this?
