Okay, so here's the problem. When I step on the foot switch, the light comes on, but there is no fuzz. I do get sound, but it's whatever was coming out before I stepped on the switch. It's like I have two bypass modes: light on and light off.

Now here's the other thing, when run it off the battery, it works perfectly and I get glorious Hendrix germanium fuzz. It's only when I use a wall wart that I have problems. I've also tried a few different power adapters and I get the same results each time.

I've taken it apart and looked it over. Everything seems to be assembled correctly. Decent solder joints and all that. I'll include some photos I took while I was checking it out.

I'm stumped.

You've probably wired the DC jack backwards. Look at that again closely.

Thanks for the quick response everybody. I checked for that and it looked like it was wired right. I'll go back, switch the two positives around and see what happens.
