Closed Circuit Booster Limiter - Limiter Question

[Luke]

Hi guys, built the Storm clone, is the limiter knob on this one meant to be quite subtle? This knob doesn't really seem to do too much or anything?

I'm having the same issue with my build ...
I double checked everything !
All other features and performance of the pedal work fine .
Pot value , taper , reflowed all solders etc
My ears can't hear much difference at all ... ???

Anyone having the same issue ??

I went back and had a look at the schematic and discovered that i installed my NSL32 optocoupler in wrong !!!
Be sure to observe the polarity of the diode when installing the optocoupler !

My Limiter pot now works as it should . You now get different flavours as you rotate the pot .

It is subtle, but it is definitely noticeable. Did you follow the build docs exactly?

It ended up being totally fine. It is subtle, more noticeable at higher volumes. I can’t really crank things up too high at home but once I could everything made sense.
