Hi All,

I am a dreaded newbie learning how to build circuits for pedals. My process is I breadboard the circuit, test, then have a circuit board made in order to build pedals for my friends. I just started this process. Well, my problem is, the boards don’t work. I’m getting power but there is no sound when I plug in the cords. I have checked the circuits repeatedly and they are correct per my designs compared to the schematic. I have used my multimeter to check the continuity of the circuit. Still, no sound. I even just connected the battery directly and two guitar jacks and still, no sound.

I think I must be doing something stupid or have done something stupid.

Does any good soul have an idea(s)? I would say the circuits are bad but it happens repeatedly on different boards, the same issue. No sound at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
