Title: Sucker Punch Overdrive Volume
Post by: wretched on January 18, 2014, 05:45:12 AM
I mentioned this earlier today and posted it in the 1776 section but thought I would get more of a response here. I thought I had fixed it but was wrong.

Anyway, the effect sounds great but I keep feeling that I am missing some volume. It is loud and sounds great on a tube amp but Compared to the MudBunny this volume is lower. There might not be anything wrong with it so I am still looking for a Demo. If you have a Demo please let me know where to find it.

I checked all resistors and they are the correct value from the Build materials. I did notice that the pinout on the Volume pot is only mesuring 50K when it is on the board. I took it off  and it was 100k. I replaced it anyway, but it happend again.

Here are the Tansistor volts
Q1 C 0.02
     B 0.64
     E 4.10

Q2 C 0.04
     B 0.65
     E 4.32

Q3 C 0.02
     B 0.65
     E 4.09

Sorry for all the posts, a quick reflow and it is working like a charm.
