I posted about this same build the other day, but that was a different problem and also wasn't really a problem at all, just me not tuning the thing properly.
So I'd tested this circuit before I boxed it and I believe it was working fine then. I boxed it today and suddenly there's no modulation anymore. The Mix, Vol, and LPG knobs are all doing their jobs, but I get nothing from Rate or Damp. I get almost nothing from Depth, except that there's some slight movement in the wet sound when I turn it, which immediately stops when I stop turning it.
I figure it's most likely related to the fact that I had to un- and re-solder the power and I/O jacks, but I don't know what could have gone wrong. I've triple-checked that the the polarity is correct. I did nick a box cap while re-soldering. It doesn't look too bad, but could that have screwed something up? It's the second from the top left in the photo.
I've got an unboxed Low Tide Mini that's making noise right now (working fine), so I tried swapping the Randomizer IC's between them with no effect.
The last strange thing I just noticed is that when I plug in the power connector the LED turns on briefly as the plug is going into the jack. I hadn't noticed before because I hadn't added the LED til I was boxing it. Could this be a sign of power or polarity weirdness?
Thanks for reading.
