Hey, folks:
So I boxed up my current lover in a beautiful purple sparkle box. Best wiring I've done, clean job, fired it up and...well, it almost works.
I DO get a signal when I fire it up. And I know the BBD is working, because when I turn the bias trimmer, I get an awesome slapback delay sound. The problem is that I get no flanging, no swooshing at all. The thing kinda sounds like it's stuck in filter matrix mode (and yes, I've flipped the filter matrix switch back and forth--nothing doing).
2 issues that might offer good clues: the rate knob seems not to work at all. And there's a very high pitched, constant squeal. It's not very loud, but it's there.
I'm using the MN3007 chip, but I didn;t jumper the diodes (D4 and D5) that you're supposed to leave out when you use a 3007. Should I have jumpered them?
Any initial thoughts?
Thanks so much
Edit* Sorry. My first post read a little bit snarky.
Yes, it seems like you have an issue. Without more details I can't really say for sure, but it looks like you need to work the usual debugging steps.

Ok, yeah, that's what I thought. I was just hoping that there was something maybe simpler. And no worries about the snark.
Yep, I'm an idiot, and jkojoura, your snark was well warranted. I had a short against the box. My current lover is awesome.
Thanks again, madbean, for a killer build!
