Low Output from Sea Horse

[sean2damax]

Looked over my build and I’m not sure why I’m getting a significant drop in signal volume when the effect is activated. All effects are working, and the bypass is good to go. The only problem is the volume drop when activated.

I read in another thread about upping the value of R18 to increase the output, but I wanted to run it by before I start swapping our components.

Sounds like you may have an incorrect resistor somewhere, it's hard to tell with them standing up.

Go through your resistors to confirm these are all correct (eg accidentally using 470k for 470r), and if they all appear ok your next step is an audio probe to isolate where the volume drops off.

I’ll check that, thanks!

I’ll check that, thanks!

Had a baby, couldn’t get back to this until now haha. You were right, I dropped a 1k in R16 instead of 10k. Boxing up now. Thanks!

Glad you got it working, and congratulations on the young one!
