Lizard Queef help

[stratmaster32]

Hi all,

I built a lizard queef following This guide and need some help debugging.

I didn't have all components to hand so I used 2n3904s instead of the 2n2222s and used a 2n4401 instead of the 2n5088. I also didn't have a 1k pot so instead used a 10k at first and then just rigged up a 1k resistor and a 510R resistor to fix the balance at half.

I haven't been able to get the pedal to work. The led illuminates when the switch is pressed but there is no sound. The pedal also works in true bypass mode.
I have tried everything: reflowing the solder joints, running a knife down the strips of the tagboard to clean any shorts, used a multimeter to test continuity between the strips, reseated the transistors in multiple orientations.

I just cant get it to make a sound when the pedal is engaged. Oddly enough - I can hear sweeping through the amp when the volume pot is turned but there's no signal from the guitar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I've probably just made a rookie, idiotic error.

Thanks,

D1
A (anode, the non-band end) = 1.029V
K (cathode, the banded end) = 0.547V

D2
A = 0V
K = 9.40V

Check the orientation of your transistors. Q1 at least should be flipped around based on your voltages.
