Hello,
I just finished by Abyss build and it works great, but when the rate knob is 100% CCW and Intensity is 100% CW, the led slowly stops pulsing until it stops completely and stays lit, causing no modulation.
If I tweak the knobs, it gets going again and works fine util the rate and intensity are set back to rate 0%, intensity 100%.
I've seen other posts about somewhat similar issues, and I've verified that my dual gang pot is not contacting anything, the electrolytic caps are the correct values and oriented properly as are the transistors. I took everything out of the box and double checked any incidental contact, and everything is clear.
I used a yellow LED from Tayda. Per their site, forward voltage is 2 - 2.3. Wondering if it could be the LED...
Any ideas on anything else that I should check? It's not a huge deal, but it just seems that it shouldn't work this way.
Thank you!
