This afternoon, I worked on the project for another two hours, and I was able to get everything connected and the LEDs lit up. I had do a bit of troubleshooting when trying to get the batteries set up correctly, such that I could power the op-amps (with both positive and negative voltages) and the transistor carrier. I believe that what I had would have worked, except that we still need to connect the audio jacks. Additionally, we plan to wire the LEDs differently, so that they will be lit up only when the pedal is turned on, and we still need to add the switch so that a clean signal can pass through the pedal. Tonight, Daniel and I plan to work on sorting out some of these last problems, and hopefully we will get around to testing it. 

We are making good progress on the pedal (we believe), so hopefully it will be finished soon and then we can transfer it to the case.
