My First Build the GR-1SF

[ShazzRandom]

No videos yet guys. I gotta recheck the wiring, something just ain't right! Making a continuous sound... Wasn't doing it the other night :/ not quite sure how to explain or know exactly what it is back to the soldering board tomorrow night hopefully

Make sure the output jack is wired the right way around... If not you get continuous sound... And others electrical gremlins

Could also be a grounding issue

One of my favorite mistakes.... I am a complete numpty at wireing

First time round it was great, then trying to get it in the cavity, I think I stretched something somewhere :/
Might get some braided cable and redo the whole lot...

Yhep.
As the old saying goes, if at first you don't succeed, throw a massive tanti and then go and have a nice cold beer

Haha sounds good! Though I'd take a cider

Sounds like you might have created an unintentional short-circuit, or maybe a connection broke, are you getting a continuous humming-noise?

Yeah it's a continuous hum. I've checked all the connections and they're all fine?! :/

Shaz have you pulled the wiring out to have a good inspection ? a hum could mean a bad earth to a pot/switch or output jack. Have you run an earth wire from a bridge post and all 4 pots are earthed ?
can you please post a close photo of the wiring loom may give us some answers

Also check the 3 lugs on the volume pots aren't making contact with neighboring lugs.
