Greetings! To be honest, I'm a bit stumped. I've built this pedal many times and never come across this problem. No sound? Yes. The fix on that was reflowing the solder on a few places. Cold Solder joints seem to be the bane of most pedal builders existence and usually one of the first...

In the BOM list with the instructions with said Chop Shop, it says nothing about the Electrolytic Capacitors needing to be 25V, however on the screening on the PCB, it does say this. Can I get a clarification as to whether this is actually needed or if this has started to be the norm for...

In the build document there is a 3nf capacitor listed. On the circuit, it’s silkscreened as a 3nf box capacitor. I have both 2.7 and 3.3 and have not found a right on the dot 3nf. Is it some other kind or is there an alternative, or will either of the ones I have do and make any difference in...

Alright, so. I understand the concept of biasing the JFETs and why it's done. I also understand that there are some circuits that have had trimmer pots added so that they can indeed be biased correctly. 3 Questions--> First is, with your multimeter, what setting are you putting it to and where...

Can someone tell me exactly what this is doing for the circuit? There are some settings that are noisier than others and obviously changes the tone, but I wanted to have a better understanding of it. Thanks in advance!

So by the look of the board it’s looking for a TO-92 style transistor (from what I can tell) but the only 2N1711’s I found are TO-39. Are there any charts for where the legs should be? I’ve had to reverse legs before depending on the pinout. Ideas/thoughts? Thanks

However when I kick the boost on it rips. But even then, it shouldn't make my guitar quieter when it's in bypass....what's up?

Anyone built any of these simple circuits recently? I've got a good sound, although I've seen some say that they get more of an overdrive then a fuzz sound and that was dependent on the leakage of the germ diodes. Apparently not all 1n34a's are made equal, but I will say it's been hard to pick...
