Yeah I made sure to write the readings in the order you asked, pinout for BC550 was the other way around of the FET, right to left vs left to right.
C8 and c12 negative sides indeed have continuity to ground.
FETs are 2N5485.

I’ll try to get some replacements to try out (seems to be a good practice to have some on hand due to their…Read more

I read in Build doc for v2 specifically asks to reverse C8 and C12 from the silkscreen layout. Was corrected in v2.1.

Output jack was reverse wired hence the shrink tubing and color change. Q1 is a BC550.
