Got a schematic for the pot and kettle yet? Or a close-up of the board's underside that shows the traces?

So this is weird, but I dropped a b100k in there and it seems much better now. I've subbed an audio taper for linear any time the latter was normally used in a volume or gain function without issue, and this may just be a trick of the ears, but it definitely has more oomph with the linear. Not...

Confirming I have continuity at all of these points.

I do have a probe, any tips on what to look for specifically on these points?

It is, I measured it yesterday when checking the components to make sure. I'm probably going to try swapping a b100k in there to see if it makes any difference.

Even with my volume dimed, I'm not getting the sort of push I would expect

It's above, but not by much at all. Unity is around 1pm on the volume knob. Maybe this is normal, but it seems low to me, and the drive control doesn't add much volume if any, regardless of its setting.

All my build problems lately seem to involve low output. I got the Honeysuckle wired up and was a little surprised by how low the volume is, while the toggles do very little and the drive control is pretty subtle as well. I did make two substitutions using what I had on hand at the time, namely...

Just checked in for the same request, my boost toggle is killing all sound and something else is off with it, a full build doc and schematic would be super helpful if available.

Any suggestions on a good knob for that rotary switch? I usually use the knurled shaft for rotaries, no experience with the plastic shafts like on the suggested one. Do you just crank the screw so it digs into the plastic shaft?

Was gonna post a question just like this, logged on and the perfect thread is at the top. How do I tell which IC pins are which on this schematic? Another one - I'm not seeing 15v anywhere, including where the schematic says 15v. Curious if that's a problem with my build or with my reading of...

Awesome, I'm going to try that later today hopefully and will report back. Edit - actually, I've got 2.7M and 3.9M so may hold off until I can get to the local electronics shop for some other stuff. Regardless, will be sure to report back either way unless you think one of those would work just...

Ah, I actually can hear it turning off in that video. Interesting, I wonder if there are any modifications that would carry that octave a little longer.

That's weirdly comforting. At least I'm not alone on this!

I got this board all populated and on the testing platform last night, it's pretty wild. Having a weird issue though, where the octave "disappears" quickly when letting notes ring. If I let it ring, even with vibrato trying to keep it sustaining, the octave sort of turns off and I'm left with...

There's no SOLVED option for this forum, but I am happy to report that I dropped in the correct resistor last night and this kitty roared to life. Hot damn this thing sounds good. Thanks again, All.

WTF you're right, how did that get there? I got mixed up without looking at it and thought the comment was a joke about the dark red one in the middle of the board. Thank you so much for spotting that, and apologies to everyone for a troubleshooting thread in the mod forum. I'm gong to replace...

Ha! That one actually is a 10k, it's a 1/2w in a 1/4w package. but you are right, i totally used it there because of the cool coloring.

Thanks, there's definitely something going on with this build, I gotta un-box it and go over the blue side. After playing it a little more, there should definitely be a little more gain available on the blue channel as well. Edit - and probably post this on the troubleshooting board instead

I finally got this thing put together and boxed up. I'm absolutely thrilled with it, definitely going to be my main drive for the foreseeable future. After boxing it up and playing with it, I noticed the blue side output is lower than I expected, with unity around 3:00 and a slight boost with it...
