Holy Smokes!!!
I would suggest to put it up for a couple of days.
Grab a cup ofb coffee and do some serious reading. You first have to get your box wired right. You have to understand the relationship of the jacks, switches, powersource, and board.
By your readings if your board is grounded???
Then it is definitely not to your rings as it is suppose to be.
Please don't take this the wrong way no harm is ment, but... And I of all people know the frustion that can cloud ones mind when trying to work out a bug, but shake n bake electronics isn't the way to go.
As mentioned before their are a lot of good sources at your finger tips. Take advantage of them. After reading it a few times and you still don't get it. Then post a new thread asking for assistance on that subject.
Their are a lot of good people here that will help you, but you have to understand what is being said.
