i did it outside an enclosure. and i ran a aligator clip from both of the sleeves of the jacks to a common ground. Pics will have to be taken later.

bump

So i wired up and FINALLY finished my dead ringer today. Bypassed everything works fine. But as soon as i turn it on, i have a very loud high pitched...sound...(cant really describe the sound) And when i play my guitar it sort of sounds like a ring modulator underneath. I double checked the wiring and everything LOOKS fine. I also checked the boost switch but it seems like when i turn it on nothing happens.

The ONLY substitute i used is For R3 and R15 i couldnt find a 510K So i wired two seperate resistors unto that spot to make up the value.


help?

haha.. yea it does. for some reason i kept thinking i was building a box of rock. oh well just excited to have my first pedal build be a success! Thanks for your assistance guys ill look into this audio probe thing..

On to the next

The Dead Ringer.

Man all i needed was to ground it...... I knew it too, after doing work on my amp and stumbling across the same problem. Now a quick queston

The Second channel (boost) works great as a clean boost. And the first channel is suppose to be the gain channel. But when combined i get a kinda gnarly almost fuzz like tone with the two gains cranked. Is it suppose to be like that or do i have a value messed up in there somewhere?

yea both switches have the jumper from top middle to bottom right. there kinda hidden. and i tested it like it is... i forgot about grounding ill have to try that.

anything else foreseeably wrong

I checked and rechecked and i think...or thought i had everything wired up right. But alas. When i plug in i get no sound with all bypassed. but with both switches on i get a whole lot of noise. I bypassed the battery cus i wont use one. Let me know what i did wrong guys. Thanks!
