Help needed amz 2 channel splitter

[thomasolsen84]

Hi. Sorry for newbie question. I built an amz 2 channel splitter. Cant get any sounds out if it. How is it supposed to be wired?
I tried to connect each of the output jacks to two amps. But dont get any sounds. Also i swapped the jfets to mpf102. Getting about 9v on both G, S and D on both jfets. Anyone care to help? Tried to google but to no luck. Adding a picture of the layout and my build

Everything that I can see looks correct.  If all JFET pins have the same voltage, that suggests shorts.  Since they're socketed, easy to pull them out and check them with a meter.  If the JFETs themselves aren't shorted, check between the socket pins while they're pulled.  Are you sure the black sticky stuff under the board isn't conductive?

Or no 0V ground at all.

Yeah I guess that might be more likely.  We can see the wire is there, but that doesn't mean it's fully connected properly.

I pulled the jfets. Im getting 9, 33v from power input.
Measuring at the first jfet getting 0v at S and 9.33v at G and 9.27v at D. Measuring the second jfet getting 0v at S and 9.33v at G and 9.27v at D adding some more pictures. Thanks for helping me.

Row 3 and 4 on the left, almost certainly a short there, no?

Thats it a short between row 3 and 4. Well spotted. Thanks a lot. Been great help once again. I hope to contribute to the forum like you guys are doing. I really appreciate everyones help.

As a tip, I use a small wire brush. Like a big toothbrush but I think it was made to help cleaning auto spark plug gaps. I just scrub the finished board and it clears the track gaps quite well. Always visually inspect also.

Scoring in between tracks with a scalpel or very small flat tip screwdriver is also a good idea for budging bridges. The ones you can see are fine, it's the microscopic bastards that'll get you.
I use a regular toothbrush too once i've been over the board with a scalpel but i reckon Jim's way is a nice 2 in 1 option
