I've finally got all the parts and completed my build of the build Echo Foxtrot, and it's having an odd issue. When I apply power with my test rig, it will work fine for about 30 seconds. Tone control works, volume control works, sounds nice and tube-y. Then the sound slows fades to nothing. If I pull the power and put it back, the cycle repeats.
In computers when this happens I would say something is overheating and shutting down. I've never experienced something like it in a pedal, but this is my first tube-based effect. I know the voltage in these is much higher, and a couple of the parts have heatsinks...
Any ideas? Pics attached, and I can do more on request.
Shout out to @vigilante398 for making these kits, super cool stuff and great work!
