Title: GGG Si Fuzz Face help
Post by: musiclikscreams on May 10, 2009, 02:04:44 AM
so i did the GGG si fuzz face build and the volume knob has no head room... it actually brings the volume down wen turned all the way up
is there a resistor i can change out to a lower value to give it more volume or somethin?  here's some links for the build:

I can only say that I've built 3 of the 5 GGG versions, and volume has not been a problem with any of them.

Volume goes down as you turn the volume control up?  Did you wire the volume pot wrong?

no u read it wrong.  the volume does in fact go up as i turn it up, but i can't get the volume up to the same level as bypassed volume

  This is not typical of FF, I would debug it.
