I've tested with my DMM and 9v is going into the board.. The LED isn't powering up and the pedal itself doesnt actually work. I thought my solders were pretty good.
Any advice or tips to troubleshoot?
I attached a picture.
That led won't light up if the L pad at the bottom isn't touching ground.
Other than that it's hard to tell without voltages. And without the input and output wires in the picture. Did you have a ground wire going to the input output Jack's?
Are the power supply wires reversed? + = +9V, - = ground, not sure if this circuit is reversed or your color scheme, but worth a check.
Thankyou bsoncini i wasn't sure what the L pad is.
I took these voltage readings:
-9 > led + = -8.98
-9 > t3,1 =-3.4
-9 > d1 anode = -9.21
Bio might just be the colour scheme i used with the wires lol.
I would double-check that the soldering is okay on the one pot that is wired in...looks like potential cold joints there.
Your power is plugged in backwards.
