I built it, and well from what i can tell I did everything correctly (obviously i did not since it isnt working :/ )
Heres the schematic and parts layout

For some reason. When i plug in a 9v source (power supply or battery) The LED goes dim as i turn the 500k (volume) pot clockwise. If i turn it ccw it goes bright and then it goes out if I turn it all the way CW.
It doesnt seem to do anything when I plug my guitar and amp into it. If i have the pedal turned off, a loud noise/hum is produced through my amp. When i turn the pedal on the noise goes away. Whether the pedal is off or on the sounds from my guitar dont make it to the amp.
Any ideas as to why the LED would go out as i turn the pot?
