TBH, when I wired mine as shown in the diagram it didn't work, I used the wiring diagram from beavis audio. That worked.

That Switch looks like it might have cold joints anyway, plus I just generally don't think it's wired up right, but I can't tell without knowing where stuff is meanna go on the board and seeing the rest of your wiring properly, nother photo with all the wiring shown and link to build instructions plz.

I really wish the Tomster would post guts of a kit that he's built, I know he's made a few.

I got really confused cause of the seperate photos but I worked it out now, that blue wire is the input.
Where's your ground though? and why power to the switch? You don't have an LED. And is the Black wire to 9V just going to a DC Jack? or have you got the battery snap the wrong way round. Are you using a DC Jack or Battery Snap?
Cold Joints on the switch though I still think.

Yeah, blue is input and brown is output.
The 9v is just the jack, and power's going to the switch because it's going to have an led, I was just cutting corners until I get the enclosure.
And I the ground cable broke was sort of just stuck in there...
But I'll try resoldering the switch.

Sort the switch out and if it still doesn't work, you haz a Multi Meter? Get some voltages.
Make sure you're DC Jack is wired up right too, I always used to piss that up somehow.
