Hello,
I just built my low tide mini. I dialed in the gate and bias controls as best I could. The bbd is biased just until the point where it doesn’t distort anymore. I dialed in the gate until the point where it gets dark with the gate control all the way to the left.
I noticed that the volume output is kind of low when I turn on the effect. I have the boost turned on and the pad turned off and it just gets past unity with the level all the way up. If I increase the mix all the way, I do get myself at unity but I lose volume with the mix at less than 100%.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there some section of the circuit I should look at or substitute some part value so I can open up the output a bit more? Thank you
