  1. Cool, thanks for doing this one. Some interesting discussion about this one on the Gearpage under the new Lollar pedal topic.

    I’ve made it up but somethings not right as the gain pot’s acting as an on off switch 🤣. Probably something daft I’ve done. I’ll check later.

    1. Can't figure this one out. Can't see anything wrong, but I suspect there might be a cut missing somewhere. Vol, mid, and high seem to work. Low doesn't seem to do much, if anything, and the gain seems to operate as a switch at either end of its travel, but with no gain so to speak. I think I'll defer to someone with more experience with this one.

    2. I don't see any discrepancies between the schematic and the layout. Have you tried swapping pots? For some reason, over the last year, my 1-meg A-taper pots have had a way higher failure rate than any other. Could be the culprit?

    3. Thanks Sebastian, Yeah I wondered about the pots too, but they tested fine. Also swapped IC's, knifed tracks, checked and double checked etc etc. The gain structure is quite simple so I can't quite understand why it's behaving in the way it is.

    4. For some reason I could't sign here a few days ago to point a missing cut track, meanwhile it's been corrected. I didn't find any other mistake.
      Let us to know if your build work after addding that cut track at P7.
