May Queen Booster, slight problem biasing the Jfet

[joelap]

After the 10K trimpot, I cannot get the voltage to go to 5.5V.  At one extreme of the trimpot, the voltage is 8.79 volts, and other end it is 8.77volts.  That 8.77 volts carries over and is the same voltage at the Drain of the J201.  There isn;t enough volume either so far, with the volume on 10 it is about as loud as the bypassed volume.  Other than that, I really like the circuit.  Anyone have this type of problem with a trimpot before?  I'm almost positive my solder connections arent touching...

nevermind, turns out my solder joints were connected!  problem solved!
