Just built the Simulcast, including a mods to add separate pots for the gain and volume on each channel on a 4PDT switch. Everything seems to be working fine except for there seeming to be way too much volume coming out. For reference, when I have the gain (on either channel) all the way down, unity volume occurs with the volume knob somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of the way up. Raise the gain knob at all and most of the sweep of the volume knob is completely unusable. From watching demos of the Hudson, it seems like unity volume with the gain down happens with the volume knob over halfway.
Just wondering if anyone else has built this and that's just how the circuit is designed or whether something is faulty in my build. The gain knobs sound perfectly fine, as does the low cut, so I don't think it could be anything before the end of the circuit. If everything's fine, I guess I could try subbing out the B25K volume pots for A25K. That would get a better sweep, but the top volume would still be super high.
