Pedal board troubleshooting

I am having some issues with my pedalboard. If anyone has any Idea or any recognition of this issue I would be open to any suggestions.

One thing I didn’t mention is that both power supplies I tried are center negative pedal types and both worked prior as well as tonight providing enough power to light the LED. Thats all I know for sure.

My next step I suppose will be getting the multimeter out.

Thank for taking a look.

Silly question,
but in the video it looks like you are connecting your guitar to the left side of your chain… which is the “exit”. Guitar pedals signal chains go from right to left: input on right, output on left. Since all pedals are doing it and you have sound with pedals turned off… That would be my first thing to check.

I dare ask because 1 rehearsal out of 5, I manage to misplace one of the 4 cables I need to plug :smiley:

Wow. :exploding_head:

I feel like such a bone head. That was exactly the problem. I just can’t believe that was the problem and I missed such an obvious thing. That is very embarrassing :flushed_face:

It’s only written on each pedal. :man_facepalming:t3: I am very ADHD and often I just see things backwards. You would think by now I would have successfully overcome this but it just is not the case sometimes.

Thank you so much Lieven, I am so glad I reached out for some help.

What a great lesson.

Back in busness.:partying_face:

I’m always glad the solution is something simple and nothing is broken.
The fact that, if all is turned of, there is actual sound only made it more confusing.

Don’t worry.
For more than 25y I feel bothered by the fact pedals don’t follow the left-to-right convention. I’m far from a structure driven person, au contraire.
It’s an old convention that comes from modelling to otherm usical equipment and the fact that a right handed guiter has an output on the right side, making the distance to cover in front of a pedal chain in frotn of you a bit shorter.
