J201 Question

8/2/2000 2:39 AM
Larry	J201 Question Howdy, I just built a Booster 2.5 with a batch of J201s from Radio Shack.com. Since I have built this before with MPF102, I was very suprised when the circuit worked, but at an extremely low volume. Couldn't debug it, and since Doug was talking about the new Sweet Thing, I thought I'd start over and do that. Of course, it works but at low volume with no gain. Could this be a bad batch of J201s? Is there a way to tell, other than ripping up pedals with MPF102s and swapping? Any help would be appreciated. Larry

Any help would be appreciated.
