So I have a 10 pf in that place haha

So not the same  the board says funny  little  boxes dirt. But It’s not the same  build.

So that value  still  worked in the circuit but made that high pitch oscillating squeal. That’s crazy  to me.

I get this high pitched sqeal that seems to be affected by all the potentiometers including the guitar.

Thank you  sir I  unsoldered it from the other board  to further  test but haven’t  got much further  I will  reverse that next and see where that takes me.
