Awesome! I have been just adding a little solder to the leads but like this idea better. No heat on the components.btw the jfet is a 4339 and it actually worked great with the stock bias values.

Working perfectly now! Turns out it was a bad solder connection on the transistor. No whistles and plenty of output. I really took my time when I initially soldered the components. Just goes to show how important it really is. Thanks for the help.

10-4 I will do that. Thanks guys! Hopefully I can report back as solved.

No sir I cannot get unity gain. When I am using my signal tracer if I touch the case of the transistor or the case of c6 I hear the signal.

Hey guys! My build doesn’t seem to have vert much output. I am worried I have a short somewhere because for some reason I can inject a signal through the case of Q1 and C6. Has anyone ever come across this?and has anyone posted the voltages for this? Thanks y’all. I will get some pics up asap.

How bout that schematic?

I looked inside my X-100 and the jfet he used in that part of the circuit was a 2n4339. Pretty close to the specs. It’s $12.00 at mouser

I get what you are saying but why not just list the substitution in the bom. It would save the customer time so they are not searching for the wrong part.

Why would you sell a product (Blues Lawyer Overdrive) that uses an impossible to get D taper pot?

Anybody know where to get these?

I got the polarity corrected on the capacitor but I still have no sound.

I really took my time and was sure to solder the fv-1 correctly. But still have no sound other than bypass mode. Cannot find any shorts anywhere. And the pots under the board have covers. Is it really that important to use Mlcc for the 1uf caps? I used film because I had them already. I did this...

I do not have any insulation. I can not be 100% sure nothing is touching but I will check that out for sure and report back. Thanks!

I have not tried that yet. Thank you.
