Well, I’m not sure exactly what I did, but it seems to be working now. I guess it must have been some kind of grounding issue or cold solder joint.

I have been using ChatGPT to try to help troubleshoot this, and it’s indicating that the problem is related to the left leg of R60 shorting to ground. I know that ChatGPT is not infallible, so I wanted to check with the human community. Does this seem like a plausible explanation? I have been...

I have a multimeter.

I know that these things are notoriously tricky to dial in, but I’ve got some issues with this that I haven’t read about in other threads. Most of the time it doesn’t pass any signal, but at certain settings it’ll almost work for a second if I hit the strings hard. If I turn the mix down it...

I spent some time with this today and reflowed the connections to the IC. Voltages appear normal now and both sides are operating as they should. In the future I will make sure to use sockets for ICs and do a better job with soldering the connections. Thanks for all your help!

Meaning what specifically?

Yes, I’ve looked at it and tried every combination. At the same settings, each side should sound identical, but they don’t at all.

I got this wired up a few days ago and initially had some grounding issues. I got those figured out, but now I’m having issues with the red side (left switch). The yellow side sounds great, but the red side doesn’t have nearly enough gain and the dip switches don’t seem to do anything. I...

It turned out to be a grounding issue. I think one of the pots was contacting one of the solder points somewhere, but I managed to fix it.

I wired up this paragon today and channel 1 isn’t working at all and channel 2 doesn’t seem to have much gain available. Anything obviously wrong with this?
