Or doing anything. I'm getting no signal. I built it on vero according to this layout http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2013/11/madbean-kraken.html
Here is the schematic http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/Kraken/Kraken.pdf
These are the voltages

C 8.28.      .6.            8.3
B 4.31.       4.38.       4.93
E 3.75.        4.38.       4.4

Anything out of the ordinary here?

I think I figured it out. Had a cap 1 hole off. I figured it was probably something like this since I forgot a cap and resistor to start with.  :icon_rolleyes:

hey man, glad to hear you figured it out. just had to say, that this has to be the best thread title i've seen in a long time.

Haha Thanks!
It seems like whenever I get stuck I need to post a help thread before I inevitably figure it out within 5 minutes on my own, however, if I don't post the thread it will puzzle me for hours... :icon_rolleyes:

I hear you on that one. It happens to me all the time, more so recently when I found out that I had some caps and resistors that wandered into the wrong compartment. Like in my euphoria build, I found that I had a 1nf or 10nf cap in place of a 100nf. So I had like no volume, but when I found that while doing other things on the board I replaced it and boom, it worked perfectly.
