    Low Tide getting signal but not working right.

    That demo is great. I would say that Im struggling to get the trim pots right. I just cant seem to find the ranges. My BBD sounds pretty much the same from 20% to 80% and I only really have the last 5% of the Gate doing anything. I also don't have it boxed up yet, i have it on a tester going to...

    Low Tide getting signal but not working right.

    @DGWVI @fig thanks for your help with this. Its definitely working now. I don't think I really have the two trims in right yet. Im getting the the modulation. I have watched this demo and im not really getting the gating working at all yet. finding there's not to much difference in from about...

    Low Tide getting signal but not working right.

    Those levels give a lot less noise. Im getting a bit of warble on the effected signal but its pretty subtle. I know this is a subtle pedal some times, just checking Im getting what Im supposed too. when I put the depth down to zero and the mix to wet im just getting the same as my dry signal.

    @DGWVI , do you have your Boost and pad both on or is that they way it should be for off? Am i making a rookie error by having the switches both away from the "on" i.e. the opposite way to you.

    Ah, yeah that seem to be right. Thanks for the photo! I have uncrossed the pins. So its got less noise when nothing is played but when i play any chord i get a lot of hiss with the not. Im still unsure Im getting any chorusing effect, im just getting a random warble to the signal.

    Ah sorry i mean they were pre mounted on the board. Bought at the same time as the PCB. You can see them in the picture above the BBD.

    Im using one of those little surface mount to through pin boards. so the pins are marked D S G rather than S D G on the TO-92. oh im getting a bit confused. lol. Ive tried both ways and i get a more of an effect crossed. bit its cleaner uncrossed. Both are effected by a kind of swooshing static...

    Thanks buddy. I did cross D and S as i read somewhere you needed to do that if using a J201 rather than a 2sk208-y. Although I only ever came across it once. I did find the Schematic last week while trouble shooting. Q1 ( 2sk208-y) has pin 1 from vcc, pin 3 going towards the input and pin 2...

    Low Tide getting signal but not working right.

    The 1k8s arrived today. I have changed them over and now there is a lot less distortion and the mix knob is working. I have tried following the instructions for setting the bbd but I don't seem to be hearing any chorusing in the signal. And on the gate I am only getting out put on the last 5% of...

    Thanks Fig, I have ordered a new batch of 1k8s. Might as well do it right than hope a 2k will do the job. Fingers crossed swapping them out will make the difference. Will take my time trying to pop them out! Not made to many mistakes on PCB's yet but when I have its never been on such a tight...

    Low Tide getting signal but not working right.

    A small update, i decided to check out my resisters, make sure they are right. Got to R7 and R37, 1k8. My supplier has sent me 68 ohms in a 1k8 package. I probably should have tested them before putting them in but I assumed they would be right. Would that make a major difference? I suppose im...

    Low Tide getting signal but not working right.

    Hi all, Been working away on a Low Tide and I am testing it. I have read through the forum and Im not seeing anything thats similar to my issue. I am getting an output. I seem to be getting a random warble but I would say there's no modulation just a judder in the sound from time to time. Rate...
