Hi guys, I'm new to this whole pedal building thing so please excuse some of my apparent and not so apparent ignorance.
I just finished building the Tyrian Distortion pedal and I'm not sure if its quite right. It does work, but doesn't seem loud enough. I have it going into the effects return of my amp. When I engage the pedal the volume is attenuated. With the volume maxxed out and everything else at 12 o'clock it cuts the volume when it engages. My dry sound is much louder. I was wonder if any of you could point to likly culprits. I have an oscilloscope and was thinking of applying a signal and tracing it out but thought you guys might be able to shove me the right direction.
