    Default Pedal debugging headache

    Put together a pedalparts Stratoblaster clone last night. Plugged in- does it work? Does it fuck..

    The switch is wired properly, and it passes a Teeny-tiny bit of signal when switched on but incredibly quiet. Anything obvious as to what might be wrong? The battery I'm using reads a healthy 8.6 so it's not that!

    Schematic and layout can be found here:

    Just spotted I have 2 resistors the wrong way round. That might be it..

    I'd be checking everything with a +/- (all the caps.) and that the Fet is in the right way.

    Not sure about R6. What does CLR mean?

    Current Limiting Resistor, ie the one attached to the LED.

    The tranny and caps are definitely the right way round. This looks like a case of me misreading a couple of resistor codes

    Always good to double-check with a meter before you solder them in!
