So my first build was a Green Russian build Big Muff (MudBunny). Learned from it and had a few good builds, then I just tried to build a Fire Red with Aion Halo board. Looked awesome but when i fired it up I only got a little volume .. After some reading I decided i needed to try to pull my transistors and socket them.. of course i had put them right in the board. Did i just have bad luck with my transistors or is this usually a pain of a build?
Sounds to me like you used transistors with reverse pinouts (i.e. a BC550 pin out is the opposite of a 2N5088). Check the build doc's spec'd transistor and compare it against the transistors you used.

An, it's an easy build.
