Got everything working, while pedal is engaged. Works perfectly but it's chaos in bypass mode. I get signal, but lots of noise too..
pretty sure I have it all grounded correctly.. have it wired exactly like in the schematic.. cables are good... nice clean signal when pedal is engaged... is there another grounding step when testing outside the box?
Hard to say. Could be a wonky footswitch. Could be signal bleed-through in the wiring. Maybe a pic of the build would help.
