War scythe • tone reaper does't like squidward •vol loss

[Nick Wipeout]

Hi there!
Please guys i've got a problem on my war scythe (das musilding kit)
Every effect itself works good also combined( tone reaper + hoof works good, hoof + squidward too) but if I play the tone reaper with the squid I get a strange volume loss especially if I stroke the strings hard (chords are orrible)
The Squidward got matched diodes, R34 and R29 are 1% film resistors and the tollerance of C25 /C26 is 5% infact the squid sounds good itself as I told before.
Yes i've got that MP38A as a sub of the AC176 for the tone reaper but and I'm pretty sure he's the culprit... I guess...help ahah.
No I haven't measure the leakage yet but i can do it becouse I have a friend with a Peak atlas. N
Has anyone ever had a similar problem?
I can provide a video about the problem, voltages and more ...

i have the same problem, it could be a pickup issue if i understood correctly.

Hello,

My last build is an Hoof Reaper clone made with a musikding kit.

https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf

Everything sounds fine as far as i can tell, all controls are working.

I only noticed one obvious issue : If i just use the Tonebender and if i activate the octave, there is a noticeable volume loss, between 5 or 10 db i think.

No volume loss with the Muff section when i activate the octave, this issue only happens with the Tonebender.


Instead of 2N1308 for Q4 & Q5, i have a pair of BC107A. But that's in the muff section.

The transistors in the tonebender...
