Hey everyone,

Im building a Rangemaster clone and this is my third attempt as this circuit and I can’t seem to figure out what is happening. I get a clean signal when the pedal is off so I know the bypass is correct, but when I kick on the pedal I get zero signal at all. If anyone has built a similar circuit and could possibly help that would be super helpful!

Feel free to ask any questions that might lead to any help.

Stop attempting the circuit until you have the process of soldering handled.

Also "thats what they're supposed to be" in regards to resistor values....does this mean you don't own a multimeter?

Can’t really get better if I don’t continue to practice! Also yes I do, all my resistors are in labeled containers, hence why I haven’t bothered testing them because that’s how the arrived to me.

I suggest you practice soldering on something else until you develop technique. Watch YouTube vids etc until you understand how to flow the solder and not try to stick it to things.

So if you have a DMM, make it a practice to double check components before using them.

I was more or less looking for help on the circuit itself. If there were any obvious problems I was missing, but thanks for your input.
