*The bottom of the board is drawn like these 60's FF's http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic ... 19&t=11697
When I plug the fuzz in to play, I get like a dead box. I pulled the pots out to make sure they weren't shorting, and eventually the whole circuit, but still no music to my ears through this box. I've tested with the Fluke MM and it's shown solid solder connections throughout, the resistors are in a decent range of where they should be, the battery works...
When I connect a black lead to ground and a red lead to the various pins of the transistors, C, B and E of Q1 (That's the one near the top of the board in these layouts) and Q2 all read out to 0VDC. From what I read, this is a problem.
Some things I suspect:
Faulty footswitch? I ripped it out of a rangemaster clone which similarly just didnt work (dead)
-If so, how do I check?
Transistor dead?
-How do I really check an NPN silicon transistor for proper function with a fluke 110? I've got four of these BC108B's, and I bought them listed at ~217hfe, their bags are marked at 216-217 hfe.
Improper grounding?- I don't have a FF enclosure with a bolt to the pedal enclosure at ground, so I ran a wire from the ground point to some copper foil tape adhered to an area of the enclosure which I'd nicked up.
