I'm currently debugging a mangler build for a friend - no matter what I've tried I cannot get the voltages right, i'm measuring a bout 30mv on the colletor of Q2 right now.
I've been checking continuity as something is pulling the voltage way down, and I'm getting continuity across the +/- pads of C2. I've pulled c2 and the fuzz pot off the board, so I can't see how i'm still getting continuity. any thoughts?
I'm just assuming I DONT want continuity across C2, as that would seem to defeat the point of having the cap there, but feel free to correct me?
Cheers,
J

Found it - c2 negative pad was shorted to ground...
