Title: Darkside.. Help! G-2
Post by: sdlogan9 on July 10, 2014, 08:41:31 PM
I just finished up my Darkside build and have no power to the LED.  I am wondering if I miss wired the 9v power jack?  I did try flip flopping the two hot " red " wires on the 9v Jack but that did not help anything :o This is a little different wiring than I am use to.  I think I followed the instructions properly ;D ;)

I do get sound at the Output jack with an audio probe in bypass and with the effect engaged.  I will prob around some more in the circuit and see what I can find.  I suspect I have somthing miss wired

Ok - so this morning I took a audio probe and checked all over the circuit.  I seem to be getting sound everywhere in the circuit except the part labeled " Power section " in the schematic included in the build instructions.  I took a magnify glass and closely inspected the traces.. they are all very clean with no bridges across to another trace.  I also double checked the placement of the electrolytic caps and the  BC549's .
