**** HELP Dallas arbitor FUZZ FACE ****

[fuzzchuff]

  ive built 2 dallas arbitors one works great ,and the other its stuck at one fuzz level the pot doesnt change anything ive tested the pot and it is fine ive checked the wireing a million times and compared it to the working one. ive looked over the traces a few times with a loupe  their are no solder bridges or little wires or anything i made the pcb i test all the parts.is their any other reason why  the fuzz wouldnt be adjustable? this is killing me! heres where i got the schematic http://fuzzcentral.tripod.com/fuzzface.html

Are you using the same guitar each time? Are you using any pedals between the guitar and the fuzz face?

[fuzzchuff]

me guitar and the pedals is direct into the amp,its the same setup on bolth pedals

1) What is the poll for? I don't really get the options...

Also when you say 'tested the pot' does that mean with a dmm? Try using the pot from the other FF - see what happens.

Duh, it's simple - do you think "&" or "*"? Note we "&"s are WAY ahead.

ahahhaa. Voted for the &.

ahahhaa. Voted for the &. 

3-0

if the question is "*" you dont have to answer "*" but "&".. pure logic..

Next time use the button NOT the button which creates a thread with a poll.

  Since you're taking polls, the Pic looks a bit mift.

Follow the "DEBUGGING - What to do when it doesn't work" sticky and report back.

P.S. You might want to change that avatar to a non-animated one.

[Roobin]

Yeh, let us know how it went with a multimeter. Alternatively use an audio probe. (that's on the Debugging page above),

p,s. having that signature may not be the most appropriate thing.
