DIY Shoegazer troubles

[GiAnt_ROboT]

Hey guys, I'm building a DIY Shoegazer with a couple of Devi's kits and I've hit a snag. Heres my problem. I've wired both the SM and the TP by themselves and they work fine but when I wire them together the SM works fine but the TP I get nothing. The weird thing is when I touch the back of the footswitch the TP starts to work. Any ideas what my be going on? Any help would be much appreciated.

Double check the in/out wiring of the TP, and your soldering. The solder should look like it's flowing onto the wire a bit.

Hey thanks man. I checked it out and it looks legit. Its work fine when wired by itself. I tried to wire the switch three different ways and no go. Its drives me crazy because when I touch my thumb againist the lugs of the switch the signal starts to fade in and work. I think I'm just gonna make them seperate pedals

But if you give up, how will you ever know what you did wrong? D :

How do you have it wired? Are the circuits independent, or is there a master bypass switch and a "MOAR FUZZ!!!!" switch?

[GiAnt_ROboT]

Your right man. I'm gonna keep messin with it. I'm fairly new to building and Im still learnin. This is my first double

I have them wired independent with two 3dpts. I thought it could be a faulty switch but when wired by itself it works fine.

[McSpunckle]

Well, think of it as two different pedal then! No reason to separate them.

Could you get a gut shot of the switch wiring? I'd assume you used Devi's diagram for independent switching.

Yea post a picture of how you have the switches set up.
You touching the switch sounds like you're making a connection, that isn't strong with the wiring. Is this boxed up? You pushing the switch could also be making a stronger ground to the enclosure, which might not be connected well otherwise.

I figured it out Its was a ground issue. I'm glad I didn't give up cause it was a simple fix. Thanks Mcspunk and Jero. I truely appreciate the help

Hey RobOT, what parts did you use if you don't mind me asking? The Shoegazer is pretty sweet, and I'd be interested in building one

Hey that's awesome, glad to hear it. Got clips?

Looks like a nice build!! Isn't the Shoegazer a SM into a TP though?? How does the TP into the SM sound??

are both of them wired together in one enclosure that much different than if i just had them in separate enclosure but next to each other in the chain? im assuming its no different

nope, there's absolutely no difference. It's just 2 pedals in 1 enclosure. Still loadsa fun though
