ok its all wired and fired!

i dont have the case built yet but there already is a problem...

mainly the audio out to the jack is not grounded?!

if i put a TS connector into the audio output to where only the tip is  
touching then i get full output and it seems like all the functions  
work.....

however, when the TS cable "snaps" in it cuts the audio out....

i will use the troubleshooting guide to help and double check my  
wiring but what is not grounded?!?!

i have extra washers....
do the washers need to go on both sides of the pots and spdt switches  
when mounted on a metal faceplate?
not sure why that would matter just an idea....

i love the noise it makes (i got a didgeridoo sound and sci fi sounds  
galore!) but i want to find out why the audio cuts when the 1/4" TS  
plug is all the way in....

i attached ground to the neg terminal of 9v battery but still same  
issue...

I am a tad confused on the grounding, does the chassies ground also go  
the neg terminal? i have it wired like the diagram with the neg going  
to ground on the board off the zaniness pot....lol

any ideas on what to check first?

cheers & happy holidays!
