Hi. i have some problem with this pedal. my pedal have big bass. After C7 i have good boost signal, with some distortion. But after tone control, pedal boost bass frequency. or cut hi frequency  How i can solve this problem?

Fluorescent lights generate radio frequency noise which can interfere with high gain circuits like this one

Ok. Maybe some schematic modification can solve this problem?

Put a 22pF cap between the input and ground. Keep the leads as short as physically possible. Even a millimeter or two will keep it from working.

to solve this problem i choose other transistor Q5. 2n3904 have big noise figure = 4 (in datasheet). i choose bc557bg (this transistor have noise figure = 2).
With this transistor i cant hear radio and other noise. May be in perfect find similar transistor with good gain.

Looking very good, DuctTape! That Poindexter is very susceptible to RF and other noise sources, for sure. I remember testing mine on the breadboard and getting massive noise, which then disappeared after turning off a single non-incandescent light.

And, love the light up knobs, too.

Hello. I have problem with RF noise.
What do you mean by "turning off a single non-incandescent light"?
