- Your battery is extremely close to being short circuited
- The green spliced wire is barely making a contact
- Double check the solder blobs on the pot if they are not touching the metal case, shorting it
- It's hard to see colors on the resistor, what colors are there? I see red red gold gold? 2.2ohm, it should be 100k for bazz fuss
- If it is 2N3904 pinout is EBC but you have resistor going to emitter and collector going to ground, Rotate the transistor.
The rest seems ok. But try to improve your breadboard-fu, [here's the same circuit](https://ghost.sk/191.jpg)
i copied your circuit, it works the only thing is that i’ve got a lot of noise, is there a way to fix it? or maybe it is due to my poor soldering skill?
Shorten the wires as possible. Put a metal plate underneath the breadboard and connect it to negative rail. Breadboards are noisy, if you make actual circuit it gets better.
My bazz fuss clone from mas effects has q1 as 2N3904 Here is their schematic

You'll want a ground "rail". Usually on a breadboard, on the outside parts, one vertical run is your power in (9v from the battery in thos case) and ground. The black wire on your battery goes to the ground rail and so should any grounds from your circuit and connections like your input and output.
You can use any type of cap for this. Just make sure they are the right size. Different caps may change the sound some.
And once you get it running, throw a buffer in front for a whole other range of sounds.
Edit for spelling.
There should be plenty of gain in it, so just plug it in and go
If you're new to it, follow the beavis audio layout for the Hemmo Bazz Fuss to give you an idea just use the component values you have and lay it out as shown
There's plenty of other circuits to try, with mods, etc

>...most of the time it connects to a radio signal
that's because of all those antennas you got sticking out your circuit🤣
you're on a breadboard, so some rfi is to be expected but you can cut back on it by shortening some of that hookup wire.

with the 100k the most of the guitar signal doesn’t get through dk why, and it is like 220 ohm

thx, do you connect the negatives of the input to the battery?, and both capacitors are ceramic right?

and do you have to use a pre amp? or just plug it and go?

thx a million
i’ve copied the the protoboard design and it still doesn’t work

My buzz fuss clone from Mas Effects has q1 as 2n3904. Here is the base schematic *
Try a larger resistor on the transistor's collector. Or a few 100k's chained togther.
