dont count your chickens like ohms

  Shin Ei build / pretest...
  Debugging my debug...
  I thought I'd found my problem, good thing this DMM reads brown green black as 'beep beep'.
  Went around the way's digging a ditch between the pads, clipping parts, the '1meg' [which read as a short] had me posting, the fires out for the time being. 
  Ahwell...not very fuzzy, nice tight board, don't think it's gonna work.
  Does turn off without power, hafta try some 3904's before I write it off I guess.

Brown green black is 51ohms, so a meter with continuity tester would go "beep beep"
One Meg (1M) would be brown-black-green.
I built a ShinEI companion fuzz and wasn't enthused about it....next up is a Superfuzz! (thanks for the board John).

  Sounds kinda cool, but just doesn't get unity, I don't think it's workin'.
  Everything including everythings been gone over and veryfied with the DMM, voltage, resistances, continuities...seems fine.

Edit:  That's 15 ohms.....I realized this in my sleep, but my work computer is blocking this site now
Anyway, I built one, thought it was wrong but it wasn't it's just a mediocre sounding unit when we're all used to great sounding ones nowadays.
