You can check the DC voltages on the transistor leads, though good results don't necessarily mean that the transistor is working correctly. It's definitely worth doing, though. Here's how:
Set your multimeter to the DC voltage mode, indicated by a straight line above a dotted line; use the 20VDC range setting if it's not an auto-ranging meter. Of course, your power source needs to be connected and there needs to be a cable in the input jack. If the pedal is assembled into the metal enclosure, put the black probe into one of the corner screw bosses of the enclosure--this is your ground connection. If the "guts" are out of the enclosure, use the sleeve tab of the input jack for the ground connection. Then touch the red probe to the test point that you want to measure and hold it there until the reading is stable within a couple of hundredths of a volt. Repeat the process for each leg of the transistor. Report your results here for all 4 transistors.
Ok so checking all of the transistors on my large beaver triangle. All of my emitter values were either super low or non existent. I'm also not sure which transistor is which Q label but here goes
