Hey all. Just built a super fuzz and on test, silence. Hit up the audio probe and there is nothing beyond the base of Q1. Thinking that Q1 may be buggered I pulled it and tacked on a socket (very crudely) and still the same, nothing on the collector. Anyone any thoughts as what the hell could be going on here, it makes no sense to me. Schematic attached. Thanks in advance

Yes I do, in my own defence I really didnt think it would matter given that it’s only 5 bloody components in. The black wires are just tacked on for testing. You can see Q1 is empty. I’ve pulled the transistor and tacked on a socket on the underside.You know better than to post a troubleshooting thread without pictures.

It isn't really 5 components in, look at how many things are tied to the same power rail. What voltage are you getting at Q1?

also it looks like R5 is 470k but it could just be the lighting
