Finished My DS-1, But its not working

Yes! Exams are finished so i can now totally commit myself to my projects but I've seemed to hit a brick wall. I have just completed a cool new mute pedal. In other words, my distortion isn't working. GRRR! and it took me ages to complete! So now I'm doing some seriously debugging. Does any of you pedal builders live near me? if so drop me an e-mail so you can help me out!
