Yes, it is normal, the sinewave.ino creates a sinusoidal waveform adjustable in amplitude and frequency.The Sinewave generator works, RV2 changes the pitch, RV4 changes volume. RV-3 has no effect, not sure if it should however?
If you want to be sure that your led is working properly you can use the blink example program (located in File/Examples/01.Basics/Blink). Remember that the LED is wired to the pin 3 as explained in this diagram.The only time I have managed to get the LED to light up (other than a slight flicker when plugging in the usb cable) is when loading the "p15_test_all" program and setting Switch "SW3" to the down position.
3PDT switches are usually fine, but they take a lot of lead to solder and overheat easily, you can check with a multimeter that the connections are made in the right way. This image shows you how they should be.Does it just sound like I have a bad switch, or more likely - a badly soldered switch?
Can I test across the pins of the foot switch (basic multimeter only - no continuity with tone option) to check if the issue is likely to lie elsewhere?
Did you check the Guide to Troubleshoot pedalSHIELD?Should I be checking anything else I haven't thought of?

Thanks for the tip. It is fixed now.*edit, I fixed that problem myself, I added a "o" to create "pinMode" and it works fine. LED blinks as expected.
It is latching, not momentary and it should connect middle row and top or bottom depending on the stomp.Is it supposed to be a momentary design, or a latching design? It always shows connection between the "middle row" and "bottom row".
I know that desoldering one of this 3pdt switches is hell, you can connect a guitar cable to the pedal and check if the tip has continuity with the input of the circuit (R1 resistor). Maybe you connected the 3pdt rotated 90 degrees? I dont even know if that is physically possible but It is the only thing I can think now...I'm coming to the conclusion that I have killed the main foot switch somehow, or it was faulty to begin with. No amount of testing has managed to get it to show a connection between the "top row" of pins and the "middle row" when activating the switch.
*Edit - pin 7 shows connections between "center" pin of footswitch and the center bottom pin on the switch.
