Thanks! I’ve also concluded that this noise is just part of the pedal’s character. I found the same noise in several YouTube demos (even in the Shallow Water demo!). I hope future builders can refer to this post and complete their pedals without feeling doubtful.

Thank you! It seems like the noise is just part of this pedal's character. However, I think I can get a better sound by tweaking the gate trimmer a bit more. I’ll try adjusting it to the 1 o’clock position as well.

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on my second Low Tide pedal build. During my first attempt, I received lots of helpful advice from this forum, but unfortunately, my poor soldering skills ended up ruining the PCB. Thanks to your guidance, I’ve managed to almost perfectly complete this second...

Thank you so much! This really helps narrow down the potential causes. I believe I sourced the components from reliable suppliers, but it’s possible they might have been damaged during the soldering process. I’ve already tried replacing the J201, and perhaps replacing other components along the...

Thank you, especially for pointing out the importance of lining up registers properly. As a beginner builder, I can see how crucial that is. The V3207 I used is indeed from Coolaudio. I had to desolder it after soldering it in the wrong position, which caused some scratching. I suspect it might...

I tried fine-tuning the trimpot, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out. Think diagnosing the issue is going to take longer than I expected. Since I don’t have a 3D printer, I picked up some duct tape instead. By the way, that pot cover idea looks super effective! I’ll also need to spend some...

I built the Low Tide PCB, but it produces very strong distortion and the sound is too loud. I’ve tried adjusting the BBD Bias trimpot and Gate trimpot, but the issue persists. Notably: The distortion and noise still occur even when the Mix knob is set to 0. The modulation does not seem to work...
