Debugging pedal, help please!

Hi there, it's me again..

I'm having a problem with the super duper I built..

I checked all my components, soldered one I missed in (plus changed a diode I put in reverse).

I'm having an almost unhearable signal still unfortunately. When I audioprobe the circuit from the input, I have good volume through the 100n capacitor and at the first point of both the 10m resistors, the Zener and at the 'G' of the BS170.

I then trace the signal from the right 10m resistor that leads to the bridge on the left. When I 'probe' it there (on the bridge), I have a very faint sound, almost unhearable.

Is this the right order?
I know very little as you can tell. In my mind I thought: That 10m is not letting through enough, maybe something is wrong. So I unsoldered it, tried to measure it (which wasn't possible with my meter it seemed) and soldered in a new one. No luck unfortunately.


Is it possible that volume/signal loss is caused by unwanted bridges (caused by some desoldering/reflowing)? Or would I have no signal at all in that case? Or should I be looking elsewhere?

The crackle when turning the pots is loud enough, just the signal is not.

Seems bridges problems, get a small cutter knife, and cut all the lines inbetween the tracks.

The 10M resistors bias the mosfet and so you've moved off from the signal path.  This is the order you need to probe in:

Input wire
Sw1-4 & Sw1-9
Sw1-5
Sw1-5 Wire
100n capacitor
Q1 gate
Q1 drain
10u cap
Sw1-7 wire
Sw1-7 lug
Sw1-8
Sw2-4& Sw2-9
Sw2-5
Sw2-5 wire
100n
Q2 gate
Q2 drain
10u cap
Volume 3 wire
Volume 3
Volume 2
Output wire to stomp switch

Thank you guys so much!

I will check those tracks.

And I will definitely look at the schematic differently with the order you provided, thanks for the troubles! Very useful stuff!
