Noco Loco 2

I have again been working on the Nocto Loco by 4ms pedals. Now you'd think this was easy. Particularly as the mishap before put her on the straight run with the purchase of a new PCB board. Alas, for some reason the search for instructions online didn't happen until she had been at it again with the soldering iron. Oh! I had arranged the pots and switch on the incorrect side and the 7805 on the wrong way round. Out came the solder sucker...

Then things looked up and following the directions and wiring instructions all parts were gradually soldered as they should and the jacks and switches arranged to fit in the case then soldered. I realised that through (one can only suggest) over solder-sucking the top coat of the solder on the PCB had come off some points of the Octave pots. However following the circuit these seem to not be attached to anything else other than to fix to the board. So I soldered these pins as best as possible and carried on as before.
All parts were in place, knobs attached and this is the final thing prior to any painting or printing.

Looks delicious. So now I started the test. The search of the flat became a mission, 9v DC plug... the only one found an hour later was an American stylee with only two pins. However Leigh came to the rescue with an adaptor. Then the unit was fixed up with my Fender in, and out to a speaker. But there was nothing coming through.

And so the unit was opened and testing took place, after discovering that the meter leads weren't in properly, I clicked them into place and tested 11.5V. 11.5V?? How is this? She did an eye check over the unit, and scoured the forum for info testing again. I is now waiting for help over the ether as quite frankly she now hasn't much idea.
