Hey ya'll- im trying to breadboard a brassblaster based off of RGs schem at http://geofex.com/FX_images/BrassBlaster2.pdf. I'm up to Q2 but i'm not getting signal out of the collector. Voltages are:

Q1
B: 0.8v
C: 2.17v
E: 216mV

Q2
B: 0.73v
C: 4.54v
E: 70.4mV

I've got signal up to the base of Q2, but it's not amplifying or passing any signal. Any advice?

The brassblaster has a reputation as being difficult to build. Is R.G.'s schematic verified?
