Hey all,
So I just finished the Li'l NYC kit. When I went to plug it in and engage the stomp, the LED did not turn on (I made sure the long lead went into the square hole like the instructions said), but signal comes through from my bass. However when the stomp is not engaged, the signal is completely cut and nothing comes through.
So, Bypass mode and LED are not working.
Additionally, the Tone and Sustain knobs don't seem to work at all. Just the volume.
Here are several pictures of the wiring, solder joints, and the wire connections from pots to board. I am fairly confident that all wires are going to the correct places, and I tried to show that in the pictures.

Does anyone know what would cause the LED to not be on when the pedal is on, the two knobs to not work, and the signal from my bass to come through when the pedal is engaged but not when the pedal isn't on?
Just need to know where to start troubleshooting - I assume I'm gonna have to desolder the wires as well?
I appreciate any help - thanks all.
Edit: So, weird thing, when I check for continuity (using DMM continuity setting), from the Positive 9V adapter joint to the negative LED joint (flat side) the LED lights up? I have no idea why this would happen but maybe provides some insight? If there are specific areas to check for continuity between then I can do that, just not sure where to start. I checked several and they all seem to work but it's hard to see exactly what's up
