Rat comes alive when I Touch PCB

Nathan	Rat comes alive when I Touch PCB Hello all, I built a clone of the Turbo Rat and am getting almost no volume. But, when I touch the pcb at the right spot, the sound gets much louder and sounds like what I want. I've had similar problems like this on other projects. Does this signify a grounding problem? Is there any way to find the error by way of the spot where I need to put my finger? Thanks, nathan

Rat comes alive when I Touch PCB

Hello all,

I built a clone of the Turbo Rat and
am getting almost no volume. But,
when I touch the pcb at the right
spot, the sound gets much louder
and sounds like what I want. I've
had similar problems like this on
other projects. Does this signify
a grounding problem? Is there any
way to find the error by way of the
spot where I need to put my finger?

Thanks,
nathan
