Hey all,
I built a Tone Vendor MKII, and while a little bright, the bigger issue is that the output volume is too low. The volume pot on full gets me just under unity gain.
before I mess with the 470r and 8.2k resistors to get more volume I figured I'd ask if this circuit is naturally quite or if I have some bad transistor/bias values. Would a badly biased Tone Bender change tithe output volume?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Some specs of the build:
