Hello,
About a year ago I bought a Muff Guitar pedal project from Bitsbox. It was working well untill it broke last week.
I took it apart and noticed the ground wire coming from the output has been pulled out of the board (the output became lose and must have spun enough to pull this off). Now I have reattached it passes through the sound when it is off, but when I press the switch for distortion there is no output. The led lights up but I get nothing out of the amp. I am presuming the ground wire has contacted something it shouldn't have, and now something is blown.
I have tested the majority of the circuit and everything seems to have power other than Diode2, D2( see wiring diagram). There is around 8v one side of it but nothing on the other.
I don't know enough to say that is the problem and was wondering if someone could tell me if this sounds like the problem or just a red hering.
Cheers,
Chris
