    I found out what is the mistake, as you both says, Daver and Tubeswell, I made a mistake on capacitors uF in the RC network... put .1 .1 and .03 instead of .01 .01 and .03...

    Learning is wonderful...

    I will have to order those capacitors, should I order capacitors like mojotone vitamine T or 150 ? would it makes any difference ?

      Use the cheapest, plastic 400v caps you can find. There is NO plus in using anything better.

          Yep it pays to always check the value of each component before you solder it in

            You mean the higher end audio caps?
            I would use the Mallory 150s anywhere because they are really good and they are inexpensive, same thing with most all axial polyester caps.
            Vitamin T... with respect to simple tweed Fendery types of circuits, well, in reality, there's not much difference in tone with all the different types of good caps... we are talking "nit picking" tone differences where it is quite possible that the atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity that day has more of effect on perceived tone then any caps you might choose to use in those simple circuits.
