Hi everyone. I am building my 1st pedal after the confidence boost.
I built the Germanium boost and everything went together fine. I then tested and it works flawlessly with a battery. But when i unplugged the battery and tried the dc jack, it did not turn on. I double checked my wiring of the dc jack as well as the battery clip and from what I see it looks ok. Please see attached photos to let me know if i'm missing something! I am very new, so my soldering isn't the best, but i did reflow to make sure there weren't cold joints.
Any info to help would be great!
thanks,
Jeff

Swap the two + wires on the DC jack and you should be as right as rain.
