Here's the problem; Bypass works great, led and effect turn on and work, but when on there is a buzzing that corresponds with the guitar signal. If I have the strings muted is is silent but when I play notes, there is a nasty buzz that accompanies them. I reflowed all my joints twice, and still no change (other than the fact it isn't as pretty looking). This is my second kit, the first was the orange distortion that worked perfectly the first try. I don't think it's the soldering, maybe I overheated something a bit?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Chris

Never mind, I fixed it. I had the .68 tantalum cap and the .001uf film cap mixed up. Build #2 complete!

Cool! You caught it and killed it before I could log in!

Hope you enjoy the pedal...
