Don't encourage him...

Yes, into the ground rail (9V plugged in). You can also play around with different values for C3 and C4 to find what you like. The Test Kitched forum has some great breadboarding tutorials.

The bottom section is the power section. It uses a TC1044SCPA and few other parts to be able to provide -9V along with polarity protection (1N5817) from your wall wart or other power supply and powering on a LED.. If you're going to breadboard this first there is no need to use it. Simply flip...

Q2/Q3 seem off. Double check your pin outs and connections. I’ll need to put this back on my board when I have the time and check.

$5 diodes

It’s a clean amp. REALLY hoping that it just needs to be boxed up. Or coaxial cable as a last resort

I'd have to dig it up, but I'm guessing box caps

Do you notice the circuit squeals/oscillates when the knobs are dimed? Mine does that and is super frustrating and not making me box it up.

For the record your ICs (4558) go right smack in the middle track of your breadboard. Here's an example.

Most FF circuits sound "best" with the fuzz dimed and then left alone. What is your bias set at? Can we get a voltage reading on Q2 collector?

We need pics

The footswitch may be possible. IME, I've only received one dud in the mail. If it works in bypass we can confirm the 3pdt half works (which I think is position 1 in the pic below). You can use your meter to check for continuity on the switch itself. Does the circuit work when it is not boxed...

Small hands aren't good on a Tush....

From the build doc. There are 8 preloaded ones. Select one at a time.

This is sadly the truth that we all must eventually face
