I built a tube screamer 808 clone with parts from small bear. I assembled it on a breadboard and powered er up, and I get sound and distortion, but its just not right... The sound is very quiet. I have to turn my amp up more than halfway just to get practice level volume. Also the pots do not seem to function at all. I've obviously done something horrendously wrong, but going through the schematic and the data sheets for the op-amp and transistors solves no problems. Anyone have an idea what could be giving me these symptoms?

Never mind this.... It seems someone (me) forgot to check the datasheet for the transistors and effectively put them in backwards.... Its all good and screamin' now!

Hey don't blame me! Those engineers at Ibanez started this misnomer, who am I to argue!

Yeah, nobody was willing to argue that whole tremo'Leo thing either.
