No volume from breadboarded fuzz face below 8ish on guitar volume
I’ve been dinking around on a fuzz face on a breadboard for a few days now. I’ve got it pretty dialed as to how I want it at this point. One problem though no matter what I’ve done doesn’t seem to change. When I use my strat (stock 2020 players) if I turn the volume knob below about 8 I have no sound unless I have the fuzz turned all the way up (I initially was following the directions from small bear that says use a 1k anti log so this makes the turn it all the way up even worse I think, I intend to change that pot when I get a 1kb type) in which case I have sound all the way to 0 but it gets very thin/hollow sounding below 6ish. I tried my lp (stock 92 studio) and I don’t have the problem with no sound. I could have the fuzz turned way down and the guitar on 2 and I have sound. But it is a bit thin sounding still, but I would somewhat expect that I think. Anyways does anyone have a suggestion as to the cause or a remedy for it. I can’t imagine I’m the first guy to run into this unless there is something wrong with the guitar pickup/pot. But I have no other issue with any other pedal and this guitar. Here’s the schem/breadboard I followed http://beavisaudio.com/beavisboard/proj ... Rev1_1.pdf . I did change a couple things R1 is 150k, R4 is 5.1.k (collector on q2 sitting at 4.25v), added a .0068u cap between collector and base of q2 and went with 2n2222a transistors. But I had the volume issue with the regular values, all transistor combinations I tried biased or not. I use my volume knob probably more than I should and this is keeping me from putting this to vero at this point. Thanks.
