Thank you for the help.

On the 5lb fuzz D2 called for a 1n34a. I only had a 1N1418, 1N270, and a BAT46. I tried them all (even no diode) and there was no change in sound or feel. Will a 1n34a make a big difference? Thank you.

Hello, I finished the low tide with no problems but have played it no more than a few minutes. However I finally got around to playing it for about 15 minutes and although the volume level stays the same the effect gets weaker to barely any effect at all and turning the controls does not help. I...

Thanks I'll try it. I hope the copy paste schematic works this time:

I built a OD-1 from Tadya and I couldn't get a sound I could use out of it. To me it was harsh and shallow. Are there any mods to make it more pleasant. I have built the Chop Shop, 5lb fuzz and the Aion Effects CC1 for overdrive sounds so I am new to the inner workings of these wonderful little...

Thank you so much Mcknib it works now!

Yes I have . Thank you for the reply.

Jjust to be sure the AN307 diode was not bad I used a 1n4148 but that was not the problem.

I reflowed the solder joints last night and tried it out this morning but still no fuzz.

I'll reflow solder joints tonight. Thank you.

Thank you!

I replaced the two 2n3906 and two 2n7000 transistors but still no fuzz. Tomorrow I'll take the board out and reflow the solders.

Hello,I'd been on a good building roll until I hit this problem. I get a full signal when bypassed but when engaged there is a very weak clean guitar signal and some background white noise that changes when the knobs are rotated. I used an AN307 for D2 but wasn't sure which side the cathode...
