jfet booster clipping
Hi guys, I built the basic jfet booster from AMZ but its clipping, even with the 22 uF cap removed it clips. I have it biased at 4.5 volts[9v. pwr], and I'm using NTE 458.  
Any help is appreciated. Jered

My first thought is- How strong a signal are you inputting? 2nd. thought- raise the value of the source  
resistor to about 2.2k to 3.3k, then re-bias.  
This will lower the gain, should help.
