Distortr Problem

[tonemonster]

Hey greetings from Germany,

I build the distortr https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb014/

I think it's the 20th Pedal that I build.
All worked fine, but not this Distortr!

Bypass signal works.
When the pedal is on its very very very quiet.
The vol and gain potis working,
There is a very quiet sound out of the amp.
But... When I turn the tone poti clockwise the quite loudness is gone. There's no sound it's quite dead. What could it be?
Thanks Klaus

Hey hey grüezi from der Schweiz!
Did you use a BS170 or 2N7000? both have different pinouts

Grüezi
All three are bs170 . The flat side is like the layout

If I’m reading the build doc right, this is r18 and should be 82ohm, but looks might be an 82k.

must be a different board revision from build doc because current build doc shows diode in that location as well.... either way 82k was for R15 and 82ohm/ 82R was for R18.

I found this....

Than is that part wrong too i think...? I am a little colour blind. I think I've over read the K a the parts label
