I just finished JD Sleeps "Boutique Tone Bender". I bought the parts from Steve at Small Bear (Great guy and service)!! Anyway, I hooked it up and the bypass works (no effect) but when I switch to the fuzz, it's a real weak signal and it's only barely working on the low E and A strings, barely. I used the matched Trans that Steve sent and I put them in this order: Q1 was lowest #, Q2 was next up and Q3 was the highest # on the outside of the package. I'm going to start debugging it after I eat but just wanted to see if anyone has experienced this same problem and could save me some headache. By the way, I perf boarded the effect. Thanks
