I finished up the Low Tide this afternoon, super excited about this one but I’m having some issues. Switches on and off just fine, but I get a big volume drop when it’s engaged – it’s barely audible with the vol knob maxed - and none of the controls seem to do much of anything except for an occasional minor warble sound and some static white noise with the mix cranked (got a radio signal for a minute as well). Same with both trimpots, neither does much of anything and there’s no hint of the BBD kicking in. Tried the dip switch, same thing. I snagged the v3207 from cabintech a month or two ago, and it says Cool Audio on it so I assume it’s legit. My LM13700s are from Amazon but I’ve had no issues in other builds and swapped several chips here with no change.
I used a linear dual pot for the slew knob and 2SK30A in place of the 208-Y but otherwise everything is as per the BOM. Made a mistake with the drilling, obviously, and haven’t soldered the LED yet because I’m waiting for a bezel.
