Minnow Voltages wacky?- need a second set of eyes

Pretty sure I've got a wrong resistor or two somewhere, but haven't tracked it down.
Only sub is a 220r in R20.

I get audio through, including LFO thumps, but is a heavily low passed signal, and definitely not working correctly

I've got the toggle replaced with a footswitch, verified continuity there, and it checks out.
I'll have to wait til tomorrow to run full continuity check or audio probe, but hoping someone catches something I didn't

Resistors Nope.
As you noted only sub was 220Ω for R20.
All other resistors check out, visually.

Perhaps you inadvertently swapped the trimmers?

The 1458 below the B5k looks a little wonky, maybe try reseating that one.


Or...

Trimmers check out, though those wouldn't effect the envelope mode. All chips have been swapped and reseated.
Replaced / tested all caps except those in the power section
Also desoldered one leg of every resistor, and one was out of spec, but replacing it didn't change anything

I need to run another continuity check when Im not in a rush, but nothing seemed off

I get audio up to pins 3 and 12 of IC3, but no envelope action anywhere. Jumping those pins does nothing
