Does it matter which wire I put the resistor on? Could I solder one leg of the resistor to the pot lug and the other to a wire connected to the corresponding spot on the pcb? Or do I need to go pot lug~wire~resistor~wire~pcb? Anyone have a schematic? I produce CAD drawings all day so I am a...

Run the resistor between 2 and 3? I am just starting on this pedal build journey so it’s all a little deep for me right now… sorry. What value resistor would you recommend?

So, run a wire from 1 to 1 , 2 to 2 and add a jumper between lugs 2 and 3 on the pot while leaving the 3 terminal open on the pcb?

I recently completed a build of the Silismile fuzz. I want to modify it by removing the internal trim pot for biasing the transistors and replacing it with an external pot. I know I will desolder the current bias pot and will solder in 3 wires that I will connect to the external pot. I am a noob...

Still curious as to why if I matched polarity with a germanium transistor to the polarity of the silicon transistor a swap won’t work? I am not an electrical expert so I just want to know what I am missing. Was actually wanting to do a hybrid pedal… hypothetically if one where to do that, would...

Was able to bias the transitory after deciding to solder the legs onto the socket. Got it very close to 4.5. Signal passes through no problem when the pedal is off. When I switch it on I don’t get any real hum and I have to turn both volume and fuzz to about 4 o’clock to get a loud enough sound...

Definitely no short on the dpdt switch… just a bad camera angle. I uploaded another one that shows it better. I can even adjust the bias using a multimeter… I don’t get a good reading. I think it’s a transistor problem. I order some npn germanium transistors. LED lights comes one, I don’t think...

I understand that if I order PNP transistors they have a different pinout and I would need to cross the legs

Pics of the board… I know the solder work could use some improvement. I am wondering if I did get the socket for Q1 as far in as I should have?

I installed the NPN silicone transistors that came with the kit. I was planning on swapping the out for some lower HFE germanium ones. Is that not possible?

I just completed my first build and I am having an issue when testing the final product. I built a Silimile Fuzz Face clone, when the pedal is off I have a signal that passes through with no issues. When I engage the pedal I need to have the volume and fuzz knobs all the way up to get anything...
