You did a better job than I did. Quite the steady hands you've got!

Google provides great images, doesn't it @jjjimi84

Update: Through my research I decided to pull the trigger on this bluetooth with amplifier and run it on a separate 9v supply. I chose ebay because f&#% Jeff Bezos. Works pretty nicely with my bench supply and isn't too quiet running on 9V. I got a 9V 5A power supply that pretty much looks like...

I've had this in a bare enclosure since last year. It's been on and off my board for a while now. For those that are relatively new to the forum, Fig was a cool dude that really wanted to be a part of this community. We miss him. Hope he's rocking in his retirement. Anywhoo, here's another...

Did someone say breadboard?

Post some pics of both sides of the board. This is pretty much a Marshall tone stack, so no voltage readings are necessary here. You probably have a bad solder joint or C14 might not be the correct value.

Also, take out C3. If I remember correctly, this part is not needed if using a TL071.

Can you confirm all components are their correct value? Minus the oscillation, does the gain knob work? Sometimes the PCB layouts can be the culprit (not your fault), but let’s rule other pieces out

Nice build. It may be worth your time down the road to fix the wiring. The less wires the "cleaner" it looks. However, once the lid goes on you won't notice the difference!

Where did you get your opamp and Q1 (output buffer)? You could also have some suspect solder joints somewhere on your board. Post some pics of your build (both sides) and we will try to help.

That could just be how the pedal was designed. There is a single gain stage and active baxandall controls, so there really isn't volume to be lost in this circuit. If you need more control over the volume, try changing the pot to A100k instead of a B taper Try switching out the fuzz pot for...

I decided to make a chuggy dirtbox with a HM-2 and Tyrian distortion. An order switch may have helped, but I rarely use them both simultaneously. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/buddy%E2%80%99s-box-%E2%80%98o-metal.11305/page-3#post-139143

Whoa. Those are a lot of knobs.

Have you tried just raising the pickup height so the volumes match? The simplest answer could also be the best answer instead of rewiring. Still, rewiring a guitar is pretty fun, lol

Once you understand the basics, the building process then becomes second nature since you'll know what you're looking for. Take your time and ask plenty of questions.
