So here's my latest update. Troubleshoot: OK OK OK OK OK OK OK (significant drop in volume) OK (significant drop in volume) OK (significant drop in volume) NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA At first I soldered it in backwards, that is D-S-G. It did basically the same thing but that...

Okay, bought

And getting ten of them for that price is not fishy?

Do you think these could be legit? https://tomandtom.co/products/fairchild-onsemi-jfet-j201-smt-to-thru-hole-adapter

So after I finished my nails I went back to the soldering duty and applied the acetone remover on the lettering. It stays on, good as ever. Should I build the breadboard thingie and test the resistor there? I could probably contact the seller and demand a refund but I feel like I should invest...

I'll contact the seller with some question. If some come to your mind, I'd be glad to hear them. As of now, all I wrote in the email draft is along the lines of "the transistors don't work, what will you do about it" and even I can see that it's weak.

Thank you! I'll go and buy one myself, it's dirt cheap. Ain't no shame in showing the cashier my feminine side. ✊

I'm located in Czech Republic, Europe so I suppose I better source it from somwhere around me. You're very kind though. I'm really trying to avoid the SMD version because soldering it was a huge pain in the *ss and now with the board completed the accessibility is even worse. God I paid about...

I don't have acetone or a paint thinner. Is there other way to find out if I got played?

I'll be damned. Only the F or other letters as well?

They all carry the exact same writing, same font. Identical.

Can I use my electrometer to measure the transistor itself?

I heard about the fakes so I avoided aliexpress. Sourced it from https://www.ame.cz/ Looks pretty legit to me, standard electronics-ish website seller. Where they got it from is a whole different question.

Continuity on both yellow and pink is there. The centre pad between 9 and 10 is mute.

So I managed to get two new J201s. It arrived today. Even with the J201 replaced the sound goes dead on 10. Tried them both, no change. :unsure:

What are the odds, huh? You knew it all along. I'll have to get a new one. On it.

The audio probe test went beautifully this time. I added a paperclip to provide some stability to the tip and preventing the wire from bending. Made a ton of difference. Here's my result: OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA NADA It seems quite clear to me where the...

Yeah I could definitely feel this was too much many posts ago. A valuable lesson indeed. My next build will be a boost or volume pedal, some OD too possibly.

So I got my multimeter, checked the continuity by the color and got a buzz every time. What should I do next?

Thank you, I'm buying it
