Well I re-soldered all my wiring, I took all the wiring apart and redid it. I made sure the input jack didnt touch the LED and plugged it in. I got it to pass signal, but with the effect off, my signal was distorted. With the effect on I got a buzzing sound, no guitar signal.

It must be something on the board, but try as I might I have not found the culprit.
I think I may just have to order another board and try again.

I just want to thank you all for the very helpful tips, I am sure they will come in handy for my next build!
I apologize for my noobness.
Also I have decided I dislike 1590b enclosures haha.

I will recheck everything today when I get home from work.  Thats a good thought about the Led Holder I will investigate!

Thanks for all of your help, this is my first real problem with a build.   I guess I got to cocky, time to kick me down to size haha.

I always stat with one thing: I plug in a power supply/battery and check if the board is getting 9v when turned on. If no pwer to the board, it is probably the wiring of the switch/jacks that is your problem. Is your LED even working?

Thanks for that tip.

So the lug I had all the power wires to, was reading 0 Volts.  I switched both Positive wires to the other Postive lug. I am now getting the LED to Light up. However, I am still not passing any signal with the effect on or off.

Additionally I am reading `7 Volts on the Board 9v terminals.

Tech Help - Projects Page / Kingslayer not working! Help
February 08, 2013, 02:20:38 AM
Hello, first time posting here.

I am a fairly new pedal builder. I have put together about 5 BYOC kits, and just last week build a Double Flush trem. All of these builds went really well.

This week I have been attempting to build the Kingslayer, and I am getting nothing. I cant figure out whats happening. I have attached some pictures below  maybe its a beginner mistake?

I substituted a 4.7 for the 5.6 on c15.



Now it did look a lot cleaner before I started messing around and trying to get it to work. In the process i singed a few wires and some of the solder joints look bad, I will go back and retouch them up. I also soldered the output jack to a different lug, just to see if that was the problem.
So with that in mind here are the pictures.  Any help would be appreciated.
