SOLVED Low tide gate trim doesnt seem right

[Locrian99]

Alright so I just built a low tide. And theres something up with the gate.

I dont get any wet signal at any position in the the gate trim until its turned up to 3 o’clock (fully ccw being 8, fully cw being 4). Then i have a fizzy sound, fully cw it sounds open. I do have effect when fully cw. Its just limited sounding compared to previous ones ive built. Going to start checking resistor and cap values. If anything leaps out…

My output from the trim ranges from apx 3.1v to 4.0 ish. My lm258 is reading 2.56 on pins 2 and 3, and 1.28 on pin 1. My usual answer to everrthing of just audio probe it, I don’t think will solve this one.

Well i do believe this did come down to switch operator error in the end.

As in the switches were both in the on position, or something about the way it was installed?

With my strat i needed it boosted. Its still very gated at full ccw on gate until the last bit. But i can dial it so its basically off at ccw, and you getva nice range throughout. I dont remember it being so weird laat time i set it but i didnt use the directions and just played wirh it til it sounded right to me and probably did have it pretty far ij the trim setting.
