i recently bought a pack to build a clone Shine Ei Companion Fuzz pedal from General Guitar Gadgets. My friend helped me solder the parts together, everything appears to be correct according to the various diagrams etc that were provided but it doesn't work. There is no power and we are unsure of the best way to check what may be going wrong.
i've taken some photo's, can anyone who has built one before spot anything that may be wrong? or if you have any tips then please let me know.
Ahhh...I just finished mine like a week ago. The trannies gave me some trouble because they weren't on the bill of materials, so double check that they're in the right way, otherwise it cuts the signal.
And double check that you didn't wire F3 or V2 to that open whole on the pcb...
But the power supply looks right! Maybe there's a solder bridge somewhere?
That's my n00b advice as someone who's done those things.
