Thanks for the quick response!
1) Yes, signal sounds fine when pedal is in bypassed. When engaged, everything works, the volume is just very low.
2) Referring to the Troubleshooting Guide:
#6: Yes, signal flows fine with Depth knob fully counter clockwise
#7: Yes, tremelo effect works with bypass on and Depth knob fully clockwise
#8: Yes, audio seems right, the volume is just too low to really hear it.
3) When engaged, sound does not seem distorted
4) Tapping or banging the pedal results with no clicks or breaks in sound to suggest a loose connection
5) Gain trim pot set at 40k results in almost no sound, lowering it cuts it out completely, if I ramp it up all the way to around 95k it does get a little volume boost above the 40k range, but not by much.
6) Double-checked to make sure I didn’t switch the Jfet with any other transistors.
7) Double-checked all solder joints for bridges or poor soldering
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
By the way, I really dig this kit, it was awesome fun to put together!
