noise with jfet

I am trying to make an overdrive with two JFETs. Everything is fine until I try to put a 10uf capacitor on the source of the second fet to get more gain. When I put it in and turn up the volume with the gain at maximum, I get a very high pitched sound constantly as if it was feedback, even if it is bypassed the noise appears. Any clue why it happens?
thanks
 
Is it breadboard, stripboard, regular pcb? Potentiometers on wires? Is it first stage with the 10u cap? How about making it three stage circuit with less gain in each stage? Can you post a schematic?
