I just finished building the sparkplug and when I pluged it in, it was really quiet.  With the volume cranked even.  All the knobs work except the gain knob doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.  Also, the D3 LED isn't lighting up. Is the the power on LED or does it do something else? And finally when you flip the toggle switch the D2 lights up but goes between distorting really really bad and cutting in and out. Like its about to blow a speaker.   It does get louder though.  Please help cause I like the tone but it has to be cranked.  Thanks

Ok, this is my 3rd build and I don't know why this won't work.  When I plug it in all it does is hum.  Even if it is bypassed.  Still a hum.  It gets louder when you engage it though.  I tried to take pics and they are super blurry. I'll try again but any ideas.  I've checked my joints and even values like I read on another post.  I even removed the 3pdt switch and it still hummed.  You can very very faintly hear a little guitar when you crank it up but barely through the hum. Please help.

can someone help me. I am a total noob and I can't figure out why my egodrive won't work. No sound at all.  The LED lights up but that is the only thing that works.  I checked all the solder joints and values and they seem to be correct.  I tried to trouble shoot from a different post (the egodrive problem one) and I have voltage but when I go to the IC, I only get .66 on each one (other that 4 which is 0).  I know he got values of 4.4 but I don't.  I am lost where to even begin troubleshooting.  Please help.
