Ive taken a picture! hopefully I made a simple mistake  that we can all laugh at and learn from.

The voltages are good. So, I think a faulty component. One last thing...are there any voltage changes on any of the pins on IC1 or IC2 when you adjust the gain pot?

Thanks Brian. I do not see any changes to the IC voltages when turning the pot. Could the pot be defective? 

IC1
1 4.80
2 4.80
3 3.70
4 0
5 4.8
6 too cramped to touch the pin with my multi
7 too cramped to touch the pin with my multi
8 9.56

IC2
1 4.91
2 4.80
3 4.79
4 -9.29
8 17.30
7 4.71
6 4.81
5 4.80

IC3
1 9.56
2 4.74
3 0
4 -4.68
5 -9.28
6 4.93
7 7.25
8 9.56


I did use some parts substitutions c14 I believe is a 3n3 not 3n9 and c12 is a 22n. Thats what I can remember for now. I do no know how to wire it without the switch, just bridge it somewhere?

hi everyone. My Sunking is experiencing an issue. The Gainpot isn't acting as it should, when I turn the pot clockwise, there isn't much of a change, just some high end going away. The lug wiring is correct and I don't believe there are any faulty wires. So how can I go about troubleshooting this? I guess the first step would be to see if the pot is defective? The tone and volume pot seem to be working as it should. There is also a crackle when engaging the pedal on but I think this may be due to a faulty DPDT switch.

back again! got my boards in so I'm finally at this. Does the D1 need to be reversed as well as the caps? which wiring diagram can I use to wire this as a negative ground effect?

excellent

Hi guys,

Can I make a BC108 Fuzz Face from the Zygote? I'm pretty positive their fairly the same. Just thought I'd ask.

Also, Who sells BC108's for FF circuits?
