Hi,

The trannies are ac128, when i check continuity with the transistor in the socket i get the same result in Q1.

also there is continuity between emitter  and base in both of them...

Hi,

actually there is continuity in Q1 socket, between sockets 1 and 3... how could this be? i don't see any solder bridges, funny thing.. when i check for continuity between the solder joints of the socket i get nothing but when i check between the sockets themselves i get a beep.

How do i check if c4 is bad? the solder joints are good and i get the same voltage reading in both leads... but i guess that is not the way... 

ok,

i re-soldered R2, when i check one side (the IC side) it gives me -8.8v (like on pin5). when i check the other side i get 0.7v.

Does this mean that R2 is fried? should i change it?

and much thanks for the replies...

Of course the voltages are NOT good, just thought that the I.C. voltages are good... dont know what is the problem. maybe it is cause i am such a noob... 

Hi thanks for the reply, i couldn't get around to this until now.

checked again and the voltages are good, nonetheless the effect doesn't work right,  lowest voltage on the trimmer reads  7.2V, when connected i get a signal but lots of squilling and no fuzz...

Voltages:

I.C.:

1.8.78   5.-8.76
2.4.41   6.4.53
3.0        7.4.07
4.-4.35  8.8.78

Q1:
e.0
b.-0.07
c.-0.16

Q2:
e.-0.11
b.-0.16
c.-7.39

Thanks for any Help....

I really need help with this...

Built the Mangler, all Pieces in place, Before mounting the transistors i wanted to check the voltage in the circuit, when i check the voltage at the tc1044 it reads - 0.4v. i checked for cold solder joints and such but couldnt find anything.
all the other components seem ok.

Please Help...
