And then I realised this … C1 + C4 are in each others spaces !!! It’s obvious I’m no expert but I’m thinking that’s my issue right there !!!

@Nostradoomus Are these pics any better. 3.3k are decently 3.3k. I’ve just done the voltages and interestingly the emitter was 8v and the base and collector around 3.6. Q1 and 2 are half these. The base of Q3 shot right up and then settled at 3.6 ???

Thanks. Will whip it out tonight when I get home from work and post some more pics.

I’ve posted this in general but am not sure how to delete the post so I can put it here. Oh where do I start !!! I’ve build several of these without hiccup, really easy build - until this one. The pedal was exhibiting a super low volume and then nothing. I ran my probe and all was good until...

Oh where do I start !!! I’ve build several of these without hiccup, really easy build - until this one. The pedal was exhibiting a super low volume and then nothing. I ran my probe and all was good until till the output of Q3. I figured that it must of been a dud transistor. I cut the bugger off...

Hey there, it was a post by @music6000 iv searched and can’t find it anywhere !!!

Thank you all for chumming in. It would seem they are ok 😂

Hey all, just got a new batch of caps but all I could get are low ESR. Done some googling and searching on here but can’t get a definitive answer as to if they are actually ok in guitar pedals. What’s people’s take on them.

It was however it’s been re traced.

Done - it would seem it’s coming from the D4 and 5/Q4 region !!!

Thanks dude - need to find someone with one now 😂

Thanks dude. No ICs in this one. There are only a hand full of different components to the P2, hence my confusion.

Hey all, how do you guys start trouble shooting a noisy pedal. I’ve worked out it’s not the PS as it does it with a battery. The noise is the same with any guitar with the volume up or down. When you play you can’t overly hear it but when not playing it’s like a sand storm. Holding the strings...

Cheers Bro

Checked the vaults on it ! There where not any 😂😂😂 Thanks for your help bud. How do I do the solved thing ?

So it turns out that Q2 had crapped out !!!

I believe your looking at R1 which is indeed 22k, it’s the only green resistor on that row. R3 is however 100k

@Nostradoomus @PedalBuilder @Robert hey guys, thanks for all your efforts so far. It is indeed a fuzzdog board. I buy a lot from there being in the uk. The board is indeed designed for 5088s. I am at an absolute loss as to where the signal is going. I am half inclined to just grab another board...
