Hey there! I've just finished and M800 and I'm trying to complete the bias stage.
I've managed to get all the transistors to bias to 4.5v except Q2. With the trim pot all the way down, I can only get it to go to 5.3 volts.
I've checked all my resistors twice. I've tried everything I can think of short of pulling the transistor and Trim Pot and replacing it with a new one.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong??
I mean. It doesn't sound bad like this. Bit muddy unless I dial the Q4 way to the left, but the notes don't have regular sustain. It kind of drops off in steps. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
