 I Am Absolutley 100% positive that this thing is wired correctly, and everything is 'right', but it doens't work right.

This 'Mother Nature' person needs a good slap if you ask me!  Sounds like she's responsible for a lot of circuit screw ups!!! :evil:

I just had one of these last night, I went over and over it. I continuity check everything, voltages were perfect, bias trims worked as they should. I worked backwards three times, I couldn't find anything wrong. Then I realized that I somehow had grounded the input signal, I hadn't worked back far enough.

Fixed that, worked great.

If it doesn't work, yes, you did do something wrong.

:D  Yeah... this times the "audio probe" is the best  :)
If you start checking with the audio probe from the input, you'd get that like a miracle  :)
Sometimes I use an audio probe I designed:
My "Finger Tips Super Noise Maker Probe" from the output jack tip going backwards on the circuit would tell "where" the noise will stop  8)
