Help with breadboarding needed

[AndyJelly]

Hi, ive begun breadboarding an orange sunshine circuit with my friend and we are both new to breadboarding. We are finding it tricky to get a noise. We have troubleshot incase the leads wer'nt working but they are and the jacks are too, everything is working fine, just the circuit that i am laying out on the breadboard is wrong (its not a surprise seeing as i hve practically just done it in my head from looking at the schematic)
Heres the schematic:

Could someone tell me where on the breadboard to put every component please?

Like for example - (Place one pin of the resistor in c3 and the other in d4 etc)

Maybe even a drawing if its not too much to ask for?

Thanks guys

You must learn by experimenting yourself and with some simpler circuits first. A simple booster would be a good idea.  But even, before that, try to figure out how the rows of holes are in contact with each other with a continuity tester.

Here's a Fuzz Face done on breadboard, courtesy of Dano of Beavis Audio http://www.beavisaudio.com/bboard/projects/bbp_FuzzFace_Rev1_1.pdf

The component values are different than the Orange Sunshine but if you compare the 2 schematics you should be able to figure out what goes where. The only real difference is that the Orange Sunshine doesn't have any pots so you'll have to figure out how to connect the 1k resistor and 10uF cap, but again comparing the schematics you should be able to see how they connect.
On the layout the far left column goes to the battery positive and the column next to it and the far right column go to battery negative. The rings from your jacks get connected to one of the battery negative columns.

Hope that makes sense

PS: Be careful when you first turn this thing on, it will be stupidly loud

I would definetly try some of the Beavis Audio projects as he kindly shows you how to place everything on the breadboard.
Also look here http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?board=33.0
It will get you using a breadboard as well.
Sorry no help with your Orange Sunshine ,but you can always go back to it when you are comfortable using your breadboard.

For informational sake for those searching later, there is an Excellent tutorial on YouTube using a breadboard to build a simple project. 

Part 1 will tell you Exactly how a breadboard works, both a RS Learning Lab board, and a typical breadboard

See YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiqNaSPTI7w

Part 2 will take you from the schematic of a flashing LED circuit to completed project, including how the power rail is powered, etc.

Very straightforward for lame newbies like myself.

the problem is that there are numerous types of breadboards...and of course, they don't come with manuals.

as noted above, a common newbie problem is not knowing which rows/columns are connected. therefore, right when you get that board, it is advised to pull out your dmm to check continuity on various rows & columns first.

for instance, this is a very common breadboard you can get on eBay for under $3 ppd...and they're excellent. I've boarded hundreds on these.

what they don't tell you is that the top & bottom rails are not connected straight thru. There are in blocks of 3/4/3, so you have to put jumpers where the red lines are to get a connection straight across.



good luck
