easy face build

[grotex]

Good morning all, I built a GGG Easy Face and am having a problem. There is guitar signal in bypass but when clicked on the LED works but no guitar or fuzz.I am using an AC128 that was tested by the supplier($7!). Positive ground using a 9vt. battery. Here are some voltages with the trimpot at highest voltage:
Q2 AC128 C   3.75
         B   3.85
         E   3.69
Q1  3904 E   0
         B   3.62
         C   3.85
Thank you for for your time.

If I'm right, Q1 should be a p-n-p device (like 2N3906)..

GGG Easy Face

Also, your measurements should have a minus (-) sign..

first thing is - post your circuit diagram. and layout diagram.
second thing is - where are the photos of your build?
third thing is - positive ground, black meter lead to ground, all voltages will read negative. if your posted readings don't show the minus, we start to wonder.

 You are correct  it is a 3906.
the R-9 jumper wire is underneath the board.
 with the black probe to +9vt and ring I do get negative readings.

Sent the wrong layout!    This is the Easyface  https://generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_ff5_lo_easy.pdf

If the emitter of Q1 is indeed connected to ground, and ground is positive, it should not read 0 but rather 9 volts. Start there?

Edit: sorry, I am wrong of course. Negative probe is on ground..

black probe on board v   
red probe on E of Q1 = -8.93


last night it was 0. I just noticed that I left out the 4.7k on the LED leg. Would that effect things?
Thanks again

Would make for too much current draw dropping the voltage and probably harm the LED I guess.

I gave up on the EasyFace and built the late 60's boutique. Works fine. Is there a way to add the easy face blend circuit to the 69?
