I just finished my soaring skillet, I've got power, LEDs light up, but I don't get any signal from the pedal.
I switched my jack wiring around (I mess them up every build, don't ask how lol)
But it didn't help at all.
Anyone have any tips, ideas, miracles??


And, yeah, my wire management is atrocious.

First, we need to see photos of the build. They need to be LARGE, well-lit, well-focused shots of BOTH sides of the PCB and all of the jack and switch wiring. You can post them to a publicly accessible hosting site and display them here or post them directly here using the forum's file attachment function (found below the main posting text box). If you use the latter, know that there is a 1 Mb size limit for image files, so it may be necessary to reduce their dimensions or their color depth to get them below that size limit. Any of a number of image editing applications will allow you to do this. I often recommend IrfanView for this purpose, since it is free and very easy to use.

This is what I've got so far. I tried posting with my op but didn't have a photo compressor. Lol.
I'll get the other side of the PCB tomorrow. I'm away from home right now. If more pics are needed after the other side of the PCB I can get them also.

Thank you for the reply!

When I posted the pic, I saw that I had my input wires swapped. I sorted those, I got sound. But, I was a weird oscillating noise. Not anything that sounded good. My ICs are all correct, my transistors are all correct. I may have to do some more rewiring.

Best way to troubleshoot when you can’t figure it out. Pictures work wonders.

Have you dialed in the trimpots as per the instructions?

I did. It made some weird high pitched squeals and other odd noises.
