Hi guys,

Back again with another problem, been messing about with it for hours.

I've have set a fuzz factory onto vero using an ac188 as Q2 and ac128 as Q3, had these trannies on breadboard and it was working, and I have scanned through the vero for shorts.

Vero layout "fuzz factory compact version" from fx layouts - http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/zvex-fuzz-factory-compact-layout.html

The signal is clean but with varying levels throughout the circuit (on transistor legs)
but with no output into the amp.

Voltages are:


Stab fully clw


Q1
C – 4v
B – 0.63v
E 0v

AC188
Q2
C – 4.02v
B 4v
E 4.05v

AC128
Q3
C 0.1
B 4.03
E 4v


How do those voltages look? Any help will be appreciated and I will continue going over the circuit. Let me know if anything else will be of any help!
