So, I’ve adjusted the gain pot to its maximum. The sound is improved, but still no where near unity gain. The sound, though better, is still pretty useless at this level. Should I look into increasing the value of the trim pot? Maybe a 250K or higher? Or, I was thinking I might wire a guitar pot in temporarily, adjust it to where I get the sound level I like, and then hard wire a resistor of the corresponding value – kind of like biasing an amp, I guess. Unless anyone has a better solution, I think this might actually work. But, hey, I’m no expert at this stuff.

So, I thought I had this fixed, but it’s still not working right. I put it away for a few months as I had other things to do, but now I’ve got the time to try to get it working right.

I do get sound, but the tremolo output is just a fraction of the volume I get when the tremolo is bypassed. It’s like the tremolo volume isn’t being amplified enough. I have to turn my amp all the way up to get any decent tremolo output. I’ve checked all the voltages and they are all normal. All the tremolo controls work normally. Aside from the lack of volume the pedal sounds great. But with the level of output I’m getting, it’s pretty useless.

Please help!

Brach. Thanks for replying. I’ll be honest. I don’t know why, but sometime during the troubleshooting I must have turned down the volume knob on my guitar. This morning, with a clear head and plenty of coffee, that was the first thing I checked. The unit works! And it sounds great. Thanks!
