I get mine from Small Bear, They are good Clones of the Switchcraft jacks @ $1.75When I built my sorcerer at first I didn’t get sound, everything looked good as far as components and soldering. guess where the problem was with mine? Those same input jacks. When I replaced mine with the regular ones it worked. Make sure you soldered correctly where the ground and signal go. Those things confuse the shit out of me so I just stick with regular input jacks. Just my 2 cents. Newbie here as well.
I am fairly certain my Jacks are wired correctly because I do get signal when the effect is bypassed and I have used these jacks on 20 or 30 builds without issue. What I am seeing is the J201’s I ordered are reading out at .9v when wide open on the trim pot but, without the transistor in place it reads out at between 8 and 9v. It’s like all of my voltage is being eaten by the J201’s is this the sign of a fake batch?
