One step forward, two steps back I'm afraid.
After taking this picture and putting everything back together I fired up the fat pants, only to have no sound whatsoever come out... Bypassed, Buffered, or with the effect on. Nada. When I was having problems with the footswitch (right before it died) I would at least get sound with the effect bypassed.
So whenever I get some free time (hopefully this weekend) I'm going to have to address where I think the problems are.
1. The footswitch
2. The DPDT buffered/bypass switch
3. The jacks themselves
4. Grounding problems
5. Broken Wires
etc.
Ugh. All I wanted in the whole wide world was to be able to close the pedal up and have it work but unfortunately it was not to be. This is why even the lowly fatpants was a bit ambitious for my first perfboard build. But such is life. When it was working it was my favorite pedal so at least I have that to motivate me to get it working again.
