Hello people!

I found the main problem - the larger clip of my Stereo jack was damaged. Changed it and it now works!

Now I'll get some rest and soon I will post the results. Thanks to everyone!

Thanks for everyone that spent a little time helping me!

So, this is the wiring and build scheme: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_ftm_lo_2fsw.pdf.
I am using all the components on this list: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_ftm_bom.pdf
Schematic: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_ftm_sc.pdf

Everything is in the right order, even in/out wiring.

Pots and jacks are already on the enclosure and wired to my pcb. Nothing works, tested with closed and open enclosure.

I am making an audio probe rn, soon I'll get the results.

Hi everyone!

I'm very new to this DIY pedal universe. Last year I've built my very first pedal - a TS808 clone - and it worked, so far so great.

Now I'm trying to build a Tone Machine clone (using General Guitar Gadgets site). All components were fine and in the correct place and polarity (when it needs to be), wirings are fine. Tested it, all 2 LEDs (on/off and octave) working great, but no sound. Even when it's bypassed no sound comes from my amp. When the effect is on, a slight hiss comes. I can control the hiss by Volume, Sustain and Tone pedals. Later on, I made a continuity test on my PCB and peripherals and all seems fine.

I have three questions:

1) Can I erase the "power" factor off my list of problems?
2) What other problems besides bad soldering could be occurring?
3) How much time can I solder the components? Maybe I was using too much time making "the perfect solder" and screwed it up something.


Thanks in advance!

Update: Solved my problem. It was a damaged stereo input jack. Replacing it fixed the problem.
