Two of my builds (Trem and Tri) have the same problem. No power when plugged into power supply, only battery power works. Now my overdrive has the same problem. The delay and chorus both work fine. They are all wired the same.

Never mind, I figured it out, I thought that the 2 positive lugs on the power were common, my mistake. I had the wires switched.

Glad you got it figured out! Most of my build issues are solved by walking away for a while then coming back to have a look with 'fresh eyes'

Thanks for posting this; I had the same problem on my trem build and figured it out thanks to this.

Hi, I have the same problem. Would I be correct in thinking that I should just try switching the positives on the DC jack?

Sorry, stupid question. Just want to make sure. :oops:

It's very easy to confuse the two, and you won't hurt anything by doing it - give it a shot.
