Hey guys I’ve been able to get my Low Tide functional and some cool warbles out of it, but have noticed some potentially odd behavior and we hoping others can confirm the observations with theirs, and possibly where to check for errors if mine is behaving strangely.
1. Gate trim pot - no volume passes until the trim pot is at about 90% clockwise. Once there the main gate pot works and has a decent sweep to it.
2. Volume - I feel like even at full volume the pedal is slightly below unity gain.
3. Mix - when the mix is at 0 and 100, the volume is constant, but in between settings their is a volume drop.
This is the first time I’ve ever used an SMD part (2SK208-Y) so I’m a bit nervous about that. I bought some J201’s through hole from smallbear a few years back so I’m hoping those are real.
Anyways, thanks for any input. Happy to provide voltages wherever to help out. Much appreciated for reading.
