Im having the same problem. Except mine is in the enclosure. I thought I might have damaged the guts some how, so I re-ordered a new board,res,caps, chip and socket(thanks Ben and Louise!). But I am getting the same results.
Sad face
All you did was place everything inside the enclosure and it worked?

Fixed it by following the pcb to the next wire. Very easy. This pedal is the craziest shit ever. Its nuts. Fuzzy Nuts.

Just ordered one of these and super stoked about the build
Couldn't help but notice that they are all oriented sideways
any chance they can be oriented vertically with top mount jacks?

You could do that no problem. You could even put it in a 125b with top jacks.

Do you have anything to drill a blank enclosure with?

Probably just because it comes with a predrilled enclosure.

If you've got a little step drill bit you're set.
