Firebomb Troubleshooting - where to begin?

[camsna]

So - my build is done and I have a few problems. They are:

1 - Neither LED lights
2 - When the 2nd SHO is engaged, there is no volume unless the volume (middle) pot is turned all the way up

Gut shots may come about eventually, I just won't have time to snap any until the end of the week. So, hopefully we can brainstorm without them

Thanks again!

LED doesn't light means either the LED needs to be reversed, or it is not wired properly to the switch.

Not sure about #2. Does the second one work if the first one is off?

Yes. #2 does work - as long as the volume is dimed.

I'll check the LEDs direction. I triple-checked them before putting them in, but I may have still gotten it wrong.

Thanks!

Forgot to update, sorry 'bout that!

1 - LEDs were in backwards. Derp. Thought the square pad denoted + lead. Boy was I wrong.
2 - Fixed a couple of solder joints that I think were causing partial shorts.
3 - Pedal is (now) built and works perfectly. On its way to my little brother for Christmas!

Thanks for the help!!!
