Help! a newb here,I need to know if I fried this or..

Ok, you got your soldering iron and nothing is going to hold you back, but you have no clue where to start or what to build. There were others before you with the same questions... read them first.

Do I have the input and output hooked up right? I drew a rough schematic since I lack the ability to read them at this time.I am trying to learn if someone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.The pedal is a DOD fx-90 if anyone can post up an example that would be great.. And how could I tell if it is just fried?

Without a diagram of what you've done, how can we tell if you've got things the wrong way round ? And how can we tell if you've fried anything ?

Below is the circuit - available from the Free Information Society website - but if you can't read it, what are you going to do with it ?

It's certainly not the simplest of circuits for a newbie to start on. I'd suggest you try something a bit easier until you get the hang of things.

Good luck :thumbsup

I'm afraid the photos don't help - apart from showing a green earth on your input jack, and a blue or purple one on your output jack - why the different colours ?

I always standardise my main colours - RED for +ve, BLACK for 0v, YELLOW for Input, BLUE for output - it makes fault finding so much easier.

Is that a LED connected to your input jack ? If so, why ?

The bottom of the big circuit diagram is copied below - it shows the FX-90 board and connections. From what I can see from your photos, you've connected up differently.

Change your wiring to get it to the same state as the diagram, then test your pedal again.

I do have the impression the posted photo's show a later revision of that the schem posted... That might cause some :scratch:
Sorry. Plain out of planes.
