Can't Get Wha to Work

12/8/1999 7:51 PM
jc	Can't Get Wha to Work I built a Wha circuit board using a homebrew pcb from JD Sleeps site which is, I guess based on a VOX847. I installed all the trim pots but not all of the switchable caps (I just put in the 10n stock one). I used the inductor (TDK) and NPN transistors from my old crybaby. I hooked up the pot, jacks and battery w/o the switch to test it out plugged in a guitar and amp and...nothing. I checked for bad solder joints, improperly place components, bad traces, used a different battery, reversed the orientation of the transisters but still got nothing. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, jc
