Title: SHO Help
Post by: snoopnut18 on February 26, 2012, 08:41:25 PM
I'm looking for some help.

I just finished building a SHO using Andrew Carrell's layout and I am little to know signal unless I turn my amp way up and the volume on the pedal all the way up as well.  Otherwise there is nothing.  The bypassed signal is normal.  The LED lights up as normal and the Pot Crackles like it should as well.  I just reflowed the joints and they are all fine as well as double checked my wiring.

Any suggestions or ideas?

if u don't have a meter, clear close-up pics might help someone find an error. transistor pin orientation is a common rookie error. re-check first.
