Curious which version of the electric mistress current lover is closest to

I decided I'll never use it like that setting, it sounds really good, and it's in there too tight to want to take it back out so it's good as it sits. 

K.   I'll check the cap orientation and see if it ramps up or down for s&g's though I'm pretty sure I already double checked all the caps once but who knows it wouldn't be the first time I missed something the first 3 times I double checked

This thing sounds great the only thing is though I still have that feedback I guess you'd call it if I max the volume tone and gain knobs.   It's only with all 3 knobs maxed, not that it's a setting I'd use just curious if this is normal for this build. 

Lol well I feel kind of dumb.   If I crank the volume and have the gain up it goes into that high pitch white but I wonder if thag is just from not being in an enclosure yet.   Thank you I just needed to wire the switch up, typically that's the last thing I do in an enclosure with the bypass stuff I guess it's necessary with this one. 

Hey thank you.   I always just connect the the i/o power and ground to test a pedal as soon as it's done.  It makes sense since this is a buffered bypass it needs to go through those pads at the bottom to go anywhere.    Doh.    I'll while up my switch tonight after work and report back if it's working now. 

Hello,

As the title says I built the blue steel board and I'm not getting any guitar signal.   

Voltages on all ic's and transistors appear to be in the neighborhood when compared with the listed voltages in the build doc.   My source is 9.28v vs the 9.5 that was used for the listed voltages so they are all 20-40 mV short.   

I attempted to audio probe the circuit.   I have signal at the input... and that is the only place I can find it.   I do not have it at the 10k resistor after the pull down resistor nor do I have it at the pull down resistor.    Probing q1 at the gate I have an very high pitched squeal.   And this kind of bleeds through at other points as well just far softer.   

I did so the suggested kid of eliminating d4 and using 1n4002's (I used 4001).   I am using some presoldered smd j201 adapter boards I picked up from aion.  Verified all polarized caps are correct on polarization etc.   

Kind of stumped with all the voltages correct that whine as to where to look since the signal doesn't get past the input it seems.   Just to double check my test box I tried another circuit on it and it worked fine.   Hoping another set of eyes sees the thing I am missing.   Also using a 5817 as the protection diode, need to set up a photo bucket acct to share pics. 

Thank you
