beginner big muff problems

Ok, you got your soldering iron and nothing is going to hold you back, but you have no clue where to start or what to build. There were others before you with the same questions... read them first.

Hello - after the great help I received with my screamer pedal here I decided to try to get some on one of my other failed kits

this is a big muff violet ram ver. from http://www.musikding.de/Kits/Musikding- ... :3069.html

When turned on the led is light but the signal is cut totally and I can only hear some scratching when I turn the tone knob... the other 2 give no reaction at all. there is no noise or anything going to the amp.

Any help will be appreciated.

it turned out that the 3 resistors are simply missing from the kit. I assumed when I ran out of parts that I was finished.
thanks for the help, Duckman

If you have 390k or 510k, it'll not be exactly the same, but just a little difference: 390k will reduce gain and 510k will rise it.
Not big deal, just to make the beast breathe.

I don't have 3 of the same value, but I contacted them and they will send the missing ones ... I think is time to order a big bag of resistors for cases like this one. :)
