ok, i got it all wired up and i used a socket for the transistor, everything is perfect but when i put in the transistor i get no sound unless i turn the amp up to 10, i tried reversing the transistor and trying other kinds (2n5088, 2n3904) what could be wrong?
also when i unplug the transistor i get normal volume sound
do you have the diode in the right way ?

im not sure the black cathode thing is pointing away from the transistor, is that right?
Black mark to the base (middle leg).

That's ok. I *think* the diode will conduct when the tranny is removed. The signal is just modulating that conduction.
good luck
