I'd also like to mention, in the top position of the switch, dist and amplitude 10 and filter 0, I get normal rat sounds but hard to hear, needs the boost to be loud enough. In middle position, notes are crackly and then cutoff, and either little or no sound on higher strings. Bottom position...

Yea its subbed in. The pins are reversed from what the original was. No sound from how it was originally and then once I flipped it the boost section worked.

Yea... that's what I'm saying that was my solution to swapping pins 2 and 3 of the transistor with a socket and 2 crossing wires. The wires have the insulation still and I didn't see any loose strands so I don't think there's any shorts? I got continuity from transistor to pad as well so I think...

I'm realizing the board looks A LOT worse with the flash on. I'll clean that up tonight. In the meantime, I started this build with subbing a 2n7000 for bs170 trans and 2 J176 for the 2 pf5102. I also used an OP07 for the IC and 2 Bat46 Diodes for the GEs. I had just read that the transistors...

I heard guitar at the tip, I finally did it it was a combination of a short and possibly a bad joint on Q5 that finally worked, along with fixing everything you guys had already mentioned. It's a mess but it works so it's been a good learning experience so thanks for the help. I think I set it...

I've been using the kester 63/37 and I'm at 680F. My tip is brand new since I'm just starting and if the solder oxidizes or I burn some flux on the tip I would clean it off but the behavior of solder still seems to be beyond me. Also I saw some people recommending chisel tips but I felt like...

Also is it normal for the ground to only be for one leg of the components since that one would be the one leading to ground anyway? Because some resistors for example only had continuity on one side.

At one point the trim pot sounds like I tripped an alarm and gets all angry and at another point it pops a bit but other than that its silent.

There's a decent amount of solder on the component side is that fine or should I have both sides?

So using the DMM I did DC and at 600 I'm not quite sure what that means but D100 read 9.2V and C104 read 8.8V so I'm not sure if that's a problem. My audio probe still just gives a bad hum but goes silent when I touch C1. I can hear guitar when I touch the tip though. I checked and my wiring is...

I've been working on the Caesar Chorus as my first build since I'd tried to make something easier but left out a capacitor and a pot in my order so I transitioned to this one. So my first mistake was that my 5mm LEDs were in backwards and I fixed that so now my internal 3mm LEDs and my 5mm LEDs...
