I got both, the JRC is in there right now. I should probably try them both out but I'm not taking that thing apart again today.
I enjoy the fact that the two days I worked on this pedal have been days that school has been cancelled due to too much snow.

like 3 feet.
i put the ground wire of the led to the ground on the 1/4" jack, the red wire to the center lug of the footswitch and then a wire from the top center lug of the FS to the spot marked POW on the pcb.

square is positive, circle is negative, longer leg of leds, caps are the positive leg, on normal diodes the side with the black band on it is positive.
pay attention to page two or three, there was a mistake on the pcb or something and one set of a circle and square was mixed up.

Yay...now a populated and wired PCB that I don't know how to ground...
DC jack ground lug goes to the input jack ground lug, yeah? but where's that ground point on the PCB go?

Likely the ground/sleeve of the out
Are you not setting it up to use a battery &/or dc? If you want to have the option for either, then you may want to move your ground going to the input sleeve to the ring of the input instead.

So with mine I can get it going like I think it's supposed to, and I'll box it up and play around for a while, and then eventually stop.
When I come back to play again (this has happened like three times) no signal goes through unless I hit the string really hard. Wtf.
