    Hi All,

    new to the forum. Just grabbed a really shiny V2 recently for a song and it’s not working. Bypasses fine, but nothing when engaged. I checked the switch and jack wiring, and all looks fine. D2 measured something like 3Mohm in both directions, so I am assuming it’s open and replaced it with a much larger 5w (all I had) 6.8V Zener. Other than that, the circuit looks stock.

    On battery power, here are my voltages:

    Very quick glance for the moment but the 4013 looks bad and your bias is off, try replacing the 4013, posting the new voltages you get and tweaking the bias trimmer.

    I’ll take a more thorough look in about a week.
