with the LED on, and a lead in the "direct" jack but no lead in the "out" jack, THERE IS signal on the direct out!
Other tests: at check point 2 Q6 C18-R23: input signal OK
at NE570 pin 2 & 3 : input signal OK

Following the input signal:
IC3b pin 5 : input signal OK
IC3b pin 7 - IC5 pin 2(check point 3) : no input signal, white noise.
Is IC3 dead ?

IC3 pin 7 has a "chopped" version of the input signal - the analogue signal is gated through IC4 by the SAH signal on the long-chip. White noise is probably OK. The only way to tell is with a scope. The good news is that white noise almost certainly means that the long-chip is working.

What do you get at TP4? (the emitter of Q9)

As already stated, test point 4 (Q9-R44) : no output signal.
The D14 diode is not referenced on the schematic. It has a high resistance (more than 700K) conducting

If IC3b had a "shopped" version of the input signal, this signal version should also be present on IC4a & b out pins 2 & 3 - IC3b input pin 5 , IC3b acts only as a buffer ! But the signal present is the clean (but compressed)input signal. The IC4a & b gates are always on.

Is there a clock signal on the long-chip pin 63?

I can't check the clock, I don't have a scope.
I can only say that a very tiny noise seems to follow the d.time pot, as well as the 4066 generated clock.
Well, it's too much trouble, I think that this pedal is definitely dead.

You could always send it to Canada for a holiday... (fix and return).

These things are impossible to fix without a scope. I've done I guess 10 of them now with faults ranging from broken mode switches to failed compander capacitors.

Some news:
I've just been to my favorite electronics components shop, 5mn by feet from home.
I've asked the boss if I could use their scope for 5mn. He agreed and I was able to see tha the 74HC00 clock was working, and that the SAH pin was all right, the 4066 too.
So the problem was around the ICs in the A/D D/A
I purchased the ICs and went back to home.
I've replaced the 5218 with a new one , and now the signal was going to the Z71 input, but the A/D D/A was not yet working.
Then I replaced the 271 to a new 311, not better, nothing was coming out the D/A
Then I replaced the 5534 with a new one and then BINGO!
The pedal, beside the BA634 not working (the wire point 1 is connected to the +9v) is working!
2 ICs were dead : IC3 and IC6
2 days ago, I've ordered 2 x BA634F, it's a 8 pins SMD that I will have to adapt to the 5 pins inline. I've found them at awatronic.fr, 1,90� each, their minimum order is 10� including shipping.

The paper label in the battery compartment is probably missing... fairly common for that to happen.
