Thanks for the reply! It was never actually working correctly. The sound I was getting when I replied in January was low and muted, but I was just happy that it was working. I set it aside after noticing the volume discrepancy planning to tackle the problem later. Later is now!
So, you were right that gain wasn’t the issue. I pulled the trim pot and wired in a guitar pot. I got volume all right! And way too much gain. So, I put the gain pot back in and focussed on the hi/lo filter pots. Turing them both up is now giving me the correct volume level – equal to the bypass volume – but when I A/B the tone of the tremolo against the bypass tone, the tremolo is very muffled. I’ve adjusted the filter pots every which way – and the DIP switches – but the tremolo tone is always muffled compared with the bypass tone. Is there any way to get the same level of clarity from both channels?
Oh, and I also checked and reflowed all the solder joints. They all look good to me.
Thanks for your help!
