Hello!
I just made a newbies project, a Green Ringer. After plugging it, I saw that there was a little shortcut when I plug the jack. So I removed the problem. But now when I start the effect, the sound is distorded (and I can ear very far the effect). The more stronger I play the guitar the more it distord. Could it be one of the transistor burned? I checked everything, connexion, soldering... But I don't know how to check the transistor (2N5088 x2 and one 2N3906). I read too that sometimes distortion can occur with non biased transistor... This is the tonepad green ringer.
Thanks for helping.
How sound a burned transistor?

Yes thanks, I'll use socket now, easier for testing and everything else! I really dumb on this one, in fact it seems that this is the sound of the green ringer! I had too much expectation (I expected the same sound as a whammy wh1 original set on octave up... ). Sorry for this stupid post... Hope my next post will be more interesting! Thanks for the socket advice! Learning, learning...
