Was drivin me nuts that i could not get my fuzz to work. (just build the neovibe w/no problems) found the prob. i never checked that well when i connected the pots for the values. i had a 500k for the volume but i had a 100k for the gain :oops:  i double checked my order and i ordered a 1k but they sent a 100k insted. check all your parts when they come in before you start building.now that i switched pots it sounds great.  :D

rrrrrrrrr! Yeah, I hate that when it happens.

Usually it's the most important weird part that gets mixed up.

Glad it worked out!!!!!

I try to follow the carpenter's rule of measure three times, cut once. Every time I neglect to do that it opens the door for the wrong value to get inserted. Done it plenty too. ;)

Congrats on your build!

Take care,

Thanks guys, now i just have to put all 3 effects in one box. is there a way that i can put a pwr supply in the case that would not hum like a happy hooker? there all neg ground. also could i run the octavia out to the fuzz in then the fuzz out to the neovibe in then out to the output jack?
thanks for all your help

For the power supply, you could use a well-regulated 9V wall-wart, or a 12V unregulated wall wart and put a 9V regulator in the enclosure (look up applications of the LM7809 for clues about doing this).
