Multi-Face experience

[SuperGeo]

Hello guys!!!

I've just finished building my multi-face using in Q1 a 1n3904 and in Q2 an MPF102 and for the in cap an 0.01 and in out 0.1uF.

Well, I really liked how it sounded but when I set volume pot to max the sound get just a little bit louder than bypassed. The Gain pot do not changes so much in the tone, makes the output less loud.
That is not what is botthering me.
I have some background like shhh noise and depending of the timpot a little RF too.

Can you tell me if there's anything wrong or that's just the way it should be? Thanks...

I use a .01uf input, 0.1uf output and although J201's and 2N7000's sound really good to me, I prefer BC108's. Pretty big volume boost and so much gain it almost qualifies as a distortion!! Really cool fuzz! As far as the RF, is it boxed up and are your wires just long enough to reach the jacks? Mines quiet.

Did you solder in the transistors or use sockets.
 Ive had transistors make that 'shhh' noise, caps...FF should go way over unity..
 Voltages tell a better tale.

I used sockets for the transistors

something really weird I saw here, when i'm close to guitar, it's quiet. If I go 2 feets away, there's RF interference, but, if i go more far in front of the door, it stops!

I have no Multimeter right now :/

im using 5089 and 2n7000 - total high gain.  Very quiet, with the box closed :-D.
