Darkside Sad Face :(

So I just finished wiring up my Darkside, and it don't work.  Bypass works, but there's a pretty noticeable drop in volume on the bypass signal.  When it's engaged, no signal - no LED.  I seem to have messed up the DC jack wiring on about every other pedal, so I tried switching the + connections on the DC jack to no avail.  It seems that I'm not getting 9V to the board, since the buffer isn't working on bypass, but I'm not sure what else to check on it.  I read somewhere else about somebody having a problem with this build, and madbean asked if he/she was using +9V or not.  I'm not 100% sure what that means.  I have a power supply and I've been using the standard cables that work on every other pedal I have - but do I need to use a reverse polarity cable for this pedal or something?

Thanks!

I can't see any reason why a standard boss-like power adapter wouldn't work. This one is wired differently than most brian sells but the instructions have it all laid out.

You got pics?
