It's alive!
But no sound. I'm using a male male audio from phone to input, and my headphones in the output. IL dig in deeper tomorrow.
Hmm... you are the first to get no sound at all. First thing to check (wearing an ESD wrist strap) is to use a DVM and probe between ground and pin 3 of the MOSFET and ground and PIN 1 of the MOSFET.
Pin 1 should be around 9 to 11v and pin 3 around 5 to 7v depending on battery level. Those dc voltages tell you that the JFET and MOSFET are operating correctly and not damaged. If pin 3 is circa 0v to 2v it's probably got a blown gate from a ESD zap. If pin 1 is unusually low, the JFET may have a blown gate from an ESD zap. I hope you took precautions for static discharge during all handling and assembly. The FETs are very sensitive.
If the amp is working, the MOSFET and R7 array will feel warm to the touch. Again, only touch if you are strapped in with ESD grounding strap.
Good luck!
