    Hi everyone! This is my first post. I have recently completed this 4 track fuzz build and It is not working. It is not passing signal when engaged or bypassed. When I plug in both cables and plug in the power supply the LED lights up green and when I click the footswitch it turns red. When I disconnect the power supply and us a 9V battery the LED doesn’t light up. Where would you suggest to start with troubleshooting? I don’t have  an audio probe. I have reflowed solder on all of the points besides the ones on the bottom of the board that are blocked by the pots. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

    Your input jack wiring appears to be incorrect.  Consult the wiring diagram here: https://guitarpcb.com/wp-content/uploads/bpfed/Wiring-Diagram-both-methods-2.png

    The black battery connector wire needs to connect to the RING contact on the input jack.  That will connect the battery when a plug is inserted into the input jack.

    Thanks so much! I had both jacks wired incorrectly. I was sort of looking at the jacks spun 180 degrees when I wired it up the first time.
