What value pots are you supposed to use, I’ve got my board ready and my enclosure drilled but there’s still no build doc up yet

If I was at home I could tell you, but I just got to work so I’m a ways off from being able to answer that...someone else can chime in hopefully!

FUZZ: B5K (I recommend using a C5K here to make the control more usable)
VOLUME: A100K
TOP: B25K
Start with the trimmer set so that the Q3 collector is about half the supply voltage and adjust from there.

Definitely use C5K, it works wonders.

You mean trim to 4.5V between q3 collector and ground?

Unless otherwise specified, all voltage measurements are with respect to ground.
Making the BIAS pot larger will do it, try B25K. If that doesn't quite get you there, try lowering the 46K/47K resistor to 33K. The values you need for the collector resistors depend on Q2 & Q3's hFE (mostly Q2).

Found it. I must have scanned right passed it. I was looking for some ribbon cable with the last order I placed. I’m not sure it it’s any easier than individual wire...

I find it way easier. If you don’t have an automatic wire stripper it will be a pain.
Look on the other side of the board xD
... Took me a while to notice xD

About to give the Bias pot a shot. You mentioned also lowering R6 from 46k to 33k for a wider range. Looking at the schematic I’m wondering if the same could be achieved with lowering R8 instead of R6 and if one would be better than the other? Please excuse my ignorance if this is a dumb suggestion.

Measure Q3-C first, you might not need to change any resistors.
Once you make & report your measurements, then we'll know what to do next.
If Q3-C is too high for any trimmer setting, then lowering R8 will only make it worse.

What does that even mean?

Of course. I have it socketed just in case. I was just curious why R6 and not R8. I socketed both to see for myself. Figured I’d also ask.

I really like the aesthetic. Super clean looking build, and luxury components. Ooo la la. Is that a water slide decal?
Edit: I just realized this build was originally posted a few years ago. I apologize for bringing us back to that time in our lives. No one wants to go back to 2020.
