wondering if anyone else had this problem. i built this one a little while ago, but it suffers from vey low output. i replaced R15 (180K) resistor with a jumper and it now has plenty of output. BTW, there is NO clean setting with this pedal:

It's a known issue with the original.

So there's plenty of range on most of these dials, but this pedal gives me the same challenges as its 1991 predecessor - in the volume department. This is the only pedal on my board where even when I have its volume at max when I kick it in, it drops my core output volume to below unity. It's the reason why I have the Strymon Sunset permanently in an adjoining slot - as that has bee instrumental in rehabilitating and rescuing so many low output gain pedals in the chain - fuzzes and distortions in particular. I have a number of overdrive and distortion pedals currently on the board - and the only pedal seemingly that has this weakness is the DIRT - where it was evidently inherited from its predecessor. I'd forgotten just how low the output range is. Everything else about this pedal is fabulous - and you can see from Matt's Demo - that the variations in Gain and EQ take you into a much broader territory.

This pcb (Can of worms) is a new release, so I googled it. Found a review of the original pedal that claims the pedal lacks output volume.

Is it as simple as lowering R15 to increase the output volume?
