I built the mantle fuzz (blue box) and i can barely hear the effect and my volume pot doesnt seem to do anything. I had tested it with a headphone amp and i had to run a maxed out volume muff into the blue box as a volume boost and turn both the gain and volume on my headphone amp to the max...just to barely hear it. The volume pot doesnt seem to work and if i remember right from last night, when i had the volume pot at 0 i still had sound. It sounds like the effect is working but i barely hear it. I couldnt tell if the blend knob was doing anything since the output volume was so low and it was a headphone amp like i said. All my other pedals and fuzzes work fine through my headphone amp before u say anything so its not like thats the issue. I checked all my resistor and capacitor values and those appear to be fine, but i will double check all those again tonight or sometime this weekend.
Anyone know what might cause these issues...the pots not working (at least not the volume) and barely an output but the effect is working?
(In the pic i didnt clip the led leads until i made sure it was the correct way around so those r sticking out but not touching anything in the pic)
