dr boogie's Q5

[dorothegreat]

hi!

recently finished dr boogie and i wasnt getting any sound after Q5 (no sound on Q5's source).

i've checked for bridges and solder joints, also replaced Q5 with a new FET but still no success 

it'll help me a lot if anyone with knowledge and/or experience building this one, thanks

found the problem , the 10k resistor to ground is defective. now my problem is that the volume is really low

im happy to report that all is working well AFAIK since im using my pc speakers to test the ckt, i might be able to plug it into an amp really soon. thanks to the other threads that ive read that really helped me in this built

Congrats!  I built one too and I love it.
It's going to sound very different going through an amp, in a good way.  Plugging a stompbox directly into your computer without going through a cabinet simulator pedal will sound really harsh, I find.

yeah! i just need to check for a sound with my audio probe, already iased the fets to 4.5v. ill be plugging this to a real amp in the weekend. with the sound i got from the pc speaker i think ill be loving this one
