Hey, 1st time builder here....
So I've followed the instructions and soldered everything, making sure all the polarized components are put in the right way and the like. When I plug my guitar into the "In" jack socket and my amp into the "out" socket nothing happens it just buzz's and I don't actually get anything from the guitar. The led doesn't turn on either. However when I plug my guitar into the "out" socket and my amp into the "In" socket the led comes on when I push the footswitch but there is still just a fairly loud buzz. I've been told that the germanium diodes might have blown so I've included a picture of them as close as I could get. Someone also looked at it and said I might have pulled the track off at one of the transistors so I cleaned it up a bit and it looks ok to me now, I may be mistaken though! Any help will be much appreciated as I need to get it working rather quickly for a paper I'm writing. Sorry for the slightly out of focus pictures but It's the best I could do.
Thanks,
Stephen
