Hello, newbie builder here
I'm trying to build a DBA Octave clang from a couple different layouts. I've built both of these boards numerous times with no output from the pedal in either case.

http://guitar-fx-layouts.42897.x6.nabble.com/file/n12880/Clango.jpgI'm wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions on how to build this circuit.
I am curious if the transformer I am using is incorrect. I have a 42TL002 as what is called for in the 18x8 build. The 11x11 build has a different transformer listed. When I looked at the data sheet for the 42TL002 it does not have a secondary wiring in the sheet, where as the 42TM002 does have a secondary winding in its data sheet and people mentioned other transformers working in their builds with this circuit, all of which mentioned have secondary winding in the data sheet.
Another thing I am wondering about if it might be causing trouble is the diodes. One layout simply calls for "ge diodes" another calls for 1n34a diodes. I have tried some generic GE glass diodes and 13470ITT diodes.

Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks
