Triplet octave and compressor questions

[chongmagic]

I finished up the Triplet, the voltages are about the same as in the build docs. However, when I turn up the octave pot it sounds like a fuzz pedal. I am not sure where I should check to see first. Also the compressor know when turned all the way up just basically mutes the sound.

Has anyone else come across this?

Yep, that sounds about right. It will also dropout the first time you play after adjusting the comp knob. It's a tricky beast but it sounds pretty good.  Mine also doesn't have a lot of bass or even low mids

So your octave does the same?

[Aentons]

Yes, fuzzy like a ring mod

I guess I was expecting it to be more of a clean octave tone not a ring mod.

From looking at the Mike Hermans vid I didn't get that would be the case.

The Triplet is 3 of the Dan Armstrong effects in one box. The Blue Clipper, the Orange Squeezer, and the Green Ringer. So the octave control is just the GR

Try this... Use your neck pickup. Turn off the dist and comp knobs down( which turns off the BC and OS) and the octave knob all the way up. Now play single notes around the 12 the fret. If you have a clean-ish boost in front, even better. If you don't have a boost, try the dist knob up a bit. You should get a more traditional octave sound
