Check your ground plane, there should be continuity between your guitar strings and the metal faceplate of the amp. If there is not, find and resolve the disconnect before undoing any work or losing any sleep.

the bass control is more like a tone control but I label it bass because there is already a knob labeled tone. the bass control does not exactly BOOST BASS but it does make a change that you would make if you were building a fuzz pedal for bass players only. if it was a magical one knob tone control the bright side would be on the right. I can still change it because the users expect it to be the other way. all it does is less filtering on the low end. this is passing more bass but it is not a bass boost EQ like you might make with opamps.
while we are on the subject of really knob heavy fuzz boxes, my 11 knob fuzz is coming back with all the little details tweaked for maximum perfection. grab them both when they are back in stock.

I'm happy it works too! was feeling like a massive idiot for jumping into the deep end when it didn't work at first. I just want to ask though, I've never encountered an effect with sag and bias controls so I'm not sure if mine work entirely as intended or if that's just what they're supposed to do. they're both very sensitive and can cut the signal if turned too far - are they supposed to do that? I can def get usable sounds by changing positions of those two in relation to each other but seeing as I've never had a wolf computer before I dunno if it's just "meant" to cut the signal sometimes. punch seems to act as sort of a finer fuzz control, things get more intense when it's up all the way so I think that definitely does what it's supposed to. bass control makes sense in relation to tone - this is actually what drew me to your circuit in the first place cause I like using pedals with my synth for bass sounds. I don't mind that it's wired opposite, I got a Rat which does the same on its tone control - just wanted to note that particular quirk in case it wasn't intended.
pretty interested in an 11 knob fuzz, I bet it would be really great for sound design. will keep an eye out!
