Hi, me again. I have two issues regarding the Son of Ben Pedal.
1) The last two weeks I noticed that my Son of Ben sometimes has "outages"...
While I was testing the pedal on another board , I faced another "outage" and noticed that the voltage of Q3 (Originally, set to Q1 ~5.2V, Q2&Q3 ~4.2V. ) randomly changes to almost 0-1.2V. Re-adjust and it sounds fine again...but that's a pita if I close the enclosure or play live...
How comes the voltage fluctuates this much without touching the trimpot?
2) In the 1:1 comparison to the original (only with all knobs at 12 o'clock), I noticed that SoB has way more gain and less mid & presence than the original.
Any idea on how to fix that?
Thanks in advance!
