New builder here. I've put together 2 PNP germanium fuzz faces, battery power only. They both work great, but one of them has a "quirk".
When the guitar's volume pot is at or near 0 (off), it's like some kind of noise generator turns on. It sounds like oscillating frequencies, so I'm guessing it's some kind of radio interference. I think changing the length of cable after the pedal changes the frequency of the noise. This only happens when the pedal is engaged.
My other fuzz face does not do this. Could this be an issue with the way the circuit is grounded? To be honest I was a bit confused about where all the ground leads go...
Thanks!
