Another Broken Weener

Hi All.

I've built up a Weener Wah II and it's DOA signal-wise.  I checked it with my testing rig before boxing and it was passing the test signal, so I thought all was well.  After boxing I'm getting test signal EVERYWHERE I touch the probe except at the output ... and there doesn't seem to be any wah effect added to the test signal.

So, for starters, a couple of questions:

- How far should I disassemble this beast in order to troubleshoot effectively?  Do I need to remove all the offboard wiring options?

- Is there a way to check the wah inductor once installed on the board to see if it's passing signal correctly (i.e. to check that I used the right holes for that inductor)?

Any advice or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bruce.

Check your off board wiring and make sure nothing is grounding out.
