Hi!
I've built this fuzz/overdrive pedal, but it work bad and I don't understand why.   :icon_eek: :icon_evil:
I've noticed that If I connect the power supply in second time (when guitar and amp are already connected), I hear the signal coming out for 2-3 seconds, but it fade out.  ??? It's very strange.
Can you help me? Have you got suggestions?
Thanks!!  ;)

You'll probably get more responses to your question if you read the 'DEBUGGING - What to do when it doesn't work ' post first: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=29816.0.  Post back with the information suggested in that post and you'll help others in this forum assist you in diagnosing the problem.

You're welcome.  Slightly off-topic, that's a cool graphic in your sig.  What is it (or what does it represent?)

Thanks,

Thanks. :D The image in the avatar is from Black Sabbath, I love them!  :icon_twisted:
I have a band in which we play stoner-doom-psichedelic rock (we are very influenced by seventies music). Black Sabbath are one of our most influences. Do you like them?  :icon_biggrin:
The image in the sig. is only a vision, an atmosphere. There's also a great citation from Rage Against The Machine.
