Fet Muff

Fet Muff
I bought 8 2n5457's from Allied Electronics. Finally built the Fet Muff and have no sound at all. I then decided to check the 2N5457's as described by Jack and found the following...  
 
With 10K drain resistor each 2n5457 read between 1.5 & 1.6Volts with a 9.5V supply.  
 
Had to drop down to 5k drain resistor to get around 4.5V's  
 
Is this a bad batch of 2n5457's?
