SOLVED Muffler Noise Gate - No Gate - Help

[BuddytheReow]

Hey guys.

just finished populating the board on a muffler noise gate. I have it alligator clipped to check. Signal comes through just fine. How do I check if the “effect” actually works? Rub my hand up and down the strings and turn the pot simultaneously?

Depends, where did you get your JFETs for the Sabbath Distortion?

 

[BuddytheReow]

Unfortunately, the same ebay seller. I guess I answered my own question, lol

OK. So, I just got my order from Smallbear today. I swapped out what seemed to be the fake JFET and it worked!!!

Now its time to design the box...

Thank you all for your help!!

Side Note: Quick shipping btw, but I'm in NJ and Smallbear is NYC if not mistaken. Good thing I had other items to order. $5 shipping!

Nice. Would have bet $$
