Hi everyone!
I've built a green Russian bm from the vero layout by lvlark @fxlayout, but i'm having very little to no sound from the pedal.
I've decided to measure voltages on the trannies and i've found out that the collector on every trans (using 2n5089) takes only 0,9 from the dc instead of the normal value of circa 4.
I'm using 15k resistors feeding the courrent to every collector, like on the vero layout.
Anyone can throw me an hint to continue debugging this pedal?
Thank you guys!!

Hi everyone and sorry for the intrusion, but i really need your help.
I'm building a sort of preamp/di for an acoustic guitar based on the DOD 410 (for the preamp part), plus a 5 band eq and a balanced line-driver (courtesy of Th-custom).
Now, i have two main issues:
1 - the guy who asked me to build this pre, asked also to put an hi-pass filter at the beginning of the signal chain; i'm relatively a newbie at building pedals and above all at electronics. I've searched online but i didn't found something really relevant to guitar pedals, and the little information i reached are way too complicated for me.
Can you, if it's possible, explain me some way to implement such filter, from the simplest (on-off with fixed cut value) to the most complicated?
2 - i'm building the pre itself (DOD 401) using the veroboard layout from GuitarFXLayout (http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.it/2013/10/dod-studio-bifet-preamp-410.html) and, as i'm using a 5 band eq after it, i just want to bypass the circuit tone control. How can i obtain this result?

Thank you in advance for the answer, i'm sorry for my incompetence throwing shadows on the whole diy community (no ok, now i'm exagerating  )
