On a bad streak of builds apparently.
last 2 have been buggy on fire up... this one has me stumped.
Built my first TS 808 off the tonepad layout.
Here's whats happening. I get signal through the effect on the breadboard... The tone pot and volume pot both work, but I don't get any drive.
I measured the voltages on the IC and both of the transistors and it is almost dead on the money what they are supposed to be... all measurements within .02 V of readouts given on the GGG website.
It is obviously an issue with something on the drive pot... or on the board where the drive pot is.
I have checked the orientation of the diodes 5 times (they are correct... Im sure of it)
I added a jumped in the spot where the assym. 3rd diode should be.
I'm stumped... here's the link!

Any ideas what would make it do this... I'm sure there is something in this post that is a big red flag to someone =P
thanks much

The first OP-amp is acting as a buffer not amplifying the signal. Either there is a short between the output and the inverting input like one of the diodes is bad or a solder bridge... or there is an open connection in the net going from the inverting input to ground ( or V ref don't remember).

What he said.
Coool, I'll check that out when I get home from school later.
