Posted on the FGC page, but I've not gotten a response on an older layout before so I'm reposting here... also, 3 BJF builds in a row with issues, 2 stupid fixes so far so I'm guessing the same here.
Finally got around to building FGC, and it doesn't appear to do anything. My voltages are below. My VR looks to be working as well... 9V in, 5V out. Here's the behavior of the controls:
- If you switch the Comp/Sus switch down, output to the amp is very faint with a slight hiss. If up, it appears to basically bypass the circuit... no tonal changes between the entire pedal in bypass and on, except for the slight hiss applied based on level.
- Tone does nothing
- Comp does nothing
- Level doesn't change the output, but as you turn it up, a slight hiss is added to the output
- LED on/off works
- I pulled off the shrink tubing and found that *the LED for the LDR (3mm RED) does not light/dim with playing... it's always at about 25% brightness*
I went through and triple checked the offboard wiring, everything looks OK to me. Xacto'd the tracks between traces on the veroboard.
