It's a success!

I just finished the Strat Lover's Other Other Strat. It's great! I had to toy around to try and get everything grounded. It just wasn't connecting right via "Quieting the Beast" I have a big question.
I have looked at the wiring, and I don't see that it's not soldered good or anything, but if I so much as wiggle the cable running into the jack, the sucker makes all kinds of angry noises at me. What's going on here?

NanooMan - well done for making it work! you are now a circuit designer.

If you have a problem that you can identify by wiggling the lead to the output jack, then it must be very localised and should not be hard to track down. Check solder joints again, then look for possibilities of strands of wire that may be shorting, clean off any brown gunk (if there is any) due to soldering. Also, sometimes the springy contacts that connect to the jack plug don't make a positive pressure onto the jack plug tip. Just bend them in a liitle more if required

Now here is a challenge for you:

When you first posted your schematic for your SLooS design, it did not have the table of extra sound combos filled in. Why not see if you can work them out? You could save it on the net with the same name and it will appear where you put it on the schematics thread. Be honest about the dead combos, but it will be interestig to see what other ones are available.
