Found the ref des. Will use it from now on.

Thanks BuddytheReow. A few questions... C1 - drawn with polarity but, it doesn't matter? Why would someone do that? C3 and R6 - not on my drawing... I mean no wonder it's not working if it's missing critical components or is mis-drawing others! What is a "ref des" (I assume reference...

Also Thanks gtfields for spotting that mistake.

I think emitter left, flat side facing is what I'm already doing? Anyway, I have just rebuilt the circuit on a better breadboard and, unsurprisingly, am getting better results. You sir have probably saved me much pain. Many thanks for that. Would appreciate any one taking a look at the new...

2n5088's from Mouser. I checked the datasheet for the pinouts. Wasn't completely clear to me which was which...they listed emitter as 1, base 2 and collector 3 followed but there's no image with the numbers pointing to the pins. The main image had it oriented flat side ot so I just assumed it...

Oh ignore my diode question. Just rechecked the circuit....

Thanks Feral Feline. More great advice and tips. I've built and rebuilt probably 20 times trying to simplify it. Good to know I need to do it again. One reason for the jumpers was to try to physically distance components which helps me trace it. But yeah I probably have too many. Love your...

Hi neiltheseal. Thanks for the reply. Probably an obvious question but what sounds should I hear after each stage? I did that after the input booster. Just got the same low volume clean tone, and the pot didn't seem to behave like I thought it would increasing volume when turning clockwise. I...

Hiyas, Total noob looking for some help. Not sure if I deserve any.... With no power connected, I get a clean signal passing through. When I plug the 9v (wall wart PSU) in, I get 1-2 seconds of total silence then a constant tick-tick-tick sound, maybe 10-12 ticks per second. Same results...
