    Low Tide: No Modulation

    I fixed this issue, thanks to this comment: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/low-tide-help.8038/post-103447 The backside of the stereo Damp pot was grounding some of the components underneath it. I slipped a couple layers of electrical tape under there without having to remove it, and now I'm...

    Low Tide: No Modulation

    Seems to be working fine in that case. Thanks. While I was checking that I noticed that the positive lug from the DC jack was bridging to the 5V lug of the pot, and thus the entire 5V pathway in the circuit. It's a kind of loose jack right now, but that might have been happening on and off...

    Low Tide: No Modulation

    Thank you, that's good to know. Could a heat-damaged Rate pot cause this issue? If so then that's my working theory. I think that one might have gotten some of my iron while I was desoldering the power wires, and the resistances it's giving me aren't what I'm expecting. Though that might be due...

    Low Tide: No Modulation

    I posted about this same build the other day, but that was a different problem and also wasn't really a problem at all, just me not tuning the thing properly. So I'd tested this circuit before I boxed it and I believe it was working fine then. I boxed it today and suddenly there's no modulation...

    Low Tide Whistling and Noise/Hiss

    That's fantastic, thanks a ton! I'll be going through those steps just as you say. Sorry to hammer a point, but I'm a bit hung up on it and want to verify: has it been your experience that having the gate below noon or so eats all of a guitar's signal when the LPG is at 0%?

    Low Tide Whistling and Noise/Hiss

    A'right, here's where tuning the trimpots got me: I tuned the Gate trim with the LPG fully closed, and found that I get no guitar at all coming through below around 2 o'clock, so it needs to be pretty high to get anything. I tuned with BBD trim with the LPG fully open, and honestly had a really...

    Low Tide Whistling and Noise/Hiss

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have adjusted both of them a bit, but I didn't think to mess with the Gate one much. I almost forgot about it since I was focused on the noise and BBD, but when I first powered the circuit the Gate was set low enough that none of my guitar was getting through when...

    Low Tide Whistling and Noise/Hiss

    Hey all, I just finished this build last night. It seems to be working for the most part, but with a couple issues. One of which I gather has been talked about before and may be more of a feature than a bug, namely the BBD hiss. What I'm more worried about is that I get this weird...

    Low Tide Mini

    I don't suppose someone could point me in the right direction for caps to use in this? I'm seeing 100uF and 22uF electrolytics, and I think I've found some nice short ones of those on Mouser. But the 1uF caps are throwing me. Should I try to find a special box film cap for those or just go with...
