Those knobs look really clean. Where did you get them from?

Thank you! It seems based on the silkscreen that you're supposed to use these? Or are any MKT fine?
Is this the correct item? https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/505-MKS21.0-63-5

Yep that’s what I used...
Anything that’ll fit should work ...
I have a few different kinds of 1u’s I use...
Those are the smallest I’ve found so far other than the mlcc...

Sounds like you might need to dial in the trimpot.

Are your ICs from a reputable source?

How did you set the trimpot?
You adjust for maximum chorus effect without distortion. If you don't hear a chorus effect you can't really determine that the trimpot is adjusted properly.
Turn Depth to Maximum.
Start with the trimpot at full CCW, then slowly turn it up until you hear chorusing. There may be a very narrow portion of rotation where you hear the effect. Once you find the range where you hear chorusing gradually tweak until you get the maximum effect without distortion.
It can be very touchy and is easy to under/over shoot the sweet spot.

I barely hear any chorusing at all. Even with all knobs maxed. I’m putting a copy of my voltages on here. On the ICs and the Trannies. Don’t judge my writing it’s not that great. The oscillator light flashes when the knob is turned up or down. Not sure if the leds are supposed to be on but they are not. I didn’t have red, I used blue. The dry wet knob does work. You can hear it turn up and down but there isn’t any effect.
I was told to get them from cabintech. The first set was bad, the 33r was burning up. I put a new 3207 in and it stopped getting hot and the voltages got better. So idk.
What I’m saying is I set the depth to max and did what the instructions said. Depth to max and turning the pot left to right doesn’t change anything. You can tell there is a very slight chorus sound but it doesn’t get more or less turning the pot. Sorry if I’m not explaining myself correctly
