I've been using a Paragon (KoT) that I built from a StewMac kit for almost a year now and recently it started having issues.
It works perfectly - until I hit a big chord and then it does until I bypass it and turn it back on. If I pick lightly everything is golden, it's only when I hit the input with a big chord.
My initial suspicion is that the charge pump has gone bad somehow. Does that sound about right? I don't have a spare sitting around to test with since this was a kit and my third build ever. Nowadays when I order parts I get spares of ICs and certain other parts when I fill a BoM.
Thanks for any insight!
