GGG Boutique Tonebender-no sound!!!!!!

[Crawf]

Hi, I have finished building the Boutique Bender from GGG and bought matching trannies from Smallbear, problem is i cant hear the guitar but can hear the controls working through the amp, so once again i`m stuck and as a relative beginner i dont know where to start looking for the problems also is there a correct order in which the trannies are placed on the board(sockets installed) the values marked on them are  70,113 and 131, thanks again Crawf.

first ensure that all solder joints are good. you can do this with a continuity tester. put one probe on the lead and the other on the solder joint to test it each joint.
next do a search on the audio probe and trace the circuit with it. these should alway's be the first steps taken in troubleshooting. usually the more knowledgeable here would perfer that this is performed before posting on a help me thread.

the trannies you have should be as follows
Q1- 70
Q2-113
Q3-131

hope this helps.

peace,
waldo

Hi Again, finally got it working, my fault it was my wiring to the sockets and i had the battery snap wrong way round
thanks again for all advice, cheers Crawf.

Hi Again,once i get it enclosed i`lll try it through my Boogie but so far it sounds pretty good through my tiny Marshall practice amp which i use for testing cicuits and if i knew how to post a soundclip i would, cheers Crawf.
