Hello from a beginner

[stevenwalsh21]

Hello everyone. Two days ago I attended my first maker workshop, hosted by maker.ie if anyone wants to check them out, I made an amp and a fuzz pedal and can't wait to make more and learn from the great community here.

I found a problem with my fuzz if anyone can help, worked fine before I put it in the enclosure so I'm guessing it must be something got knocked loose when I done that. When I plug the pedal in the clean sound comes through fine, turn it on the fuzz works fine, but when I turn it off no sound comes through. It works the first time and fuzz works everytime but no clean when it's off.

Anyway here's some pictures and a video of the amp if anyone is interested.

Good work, and welcome!

When something worked, but conks out when you put it in the enclosure, 9 times out of 10 it is a short somewhere - something touching the box that shouldn't.  Or a wire bent and made a bad connection.
Try removing it and moving things around a little, esp. near your switch.  And if you have an LED on your switch, see that the wires aren't shorting!

Sometimes, you have the input wire shorting out on something, too...that will kill the signal.    Over time, you get used to how to stuff them in there ) You will, too.

welcome. it's possible one of the pots rotated when you adjusted, and shorted something nearby. pictures of internals?

Thanks for the input and welcome! I'll remove it from the enclosure and post some pictures of the circuit
