Title: Glam- Low Volume
Post by: bscur on December 14, 2016, 06:13:35 AM
I wired up my Glam pedal and I have a chorused sound, but a volume drop when the effect is on. The pulsing LED works, but there isn't a light showing on the on/off LED when it is on.
Q1 seems the farthest off- read left to right across the flat side it reads 2.64, 2.50, 2.50
REG left to right across the flat side 9.09, 0, 4.96

IC1 numbers all match up

IC2
1 4.96
2 2.47
3 0
4 0
5 1.63
6 2.4
7 ignored as per directions
8 ignored as per directions
9 2.48
10 2.48
11 2.48
12 2.48
13 2.48
14 2.48
15 2.48
16 2.48

I think I had the same problem.  Let me do some searching in this forum and look for a link.

Also, I don't think your board will fit in a 1590G, in case that's what you had planned.  The caps are too tall, and you socketed your IC.

Excellent! Thanks for the link to the other thread. This is going into a 6 in 1 build for a friend's son that is going into the biggest enclosure I've ever seen, so I've got plenty of room.

Did you adjust the trimmer to get 6v at the test pad?

Yes,  I was able to get it dialed to 6 where it sounded great, just much, much lower volume. I'll try swapping out the resistor this evening.
Thanks

Good luck. Sorry, I didn't notice the existing thread about the issue. I just got mine working the other day and volume is spot on. Lucky me I guess. :)
