Can someone explain busing q2 and q3? I ran a probe to ground and a probe to the drain on both with the pedal plugged in. They both read 9v and that value doesn’t change when I adjust the pot. What am I doing wrong? I successfully adjusted q1 to almost 1.67

Update: It's working!! I definitely had fake j201s. I ordered some j201s from pedal pcb and redid the entire board. I wasn't able to remove my 6 prong bass pot from the board. Luckily I had enough components and another board so I could make a second. Fired up right away. Just need to adjust...

By switch you mean unsolder and replace with a new transistor right?

I built a probe and tested. Everything is good until the signal reaches the first J201. After there is no signal at all. Any ideas? I used my multi meter to test the connection. With the positive on the source and negative on the drain it reads 850. With positive on the source and negative on...

Totally agree. I tracked down the parts myself from Tayda and I used a multimeter to verify the values before using them. Good to know about the J201s. I have some other 2N5457 transistors that I could use. But I'll wait and rule everything else out first.

Here are some photos of my build. My guess is that my solder joints are not great and I need to reflow them. Would not biasing the J201s cause no sound? To be honest I wasn't sure how to do it so I adjusted them based on another build that I saw (again I'm a noob). I'll do some research on how...

I know this is probably a very beginner question but I’m having trouble figuring out where to start with debugging my first build. I just finished up my first pedal. Plugged it in and had sound in bypass. When activated the led comes on but no sound. Where should I start looking? Thanks in advanced
