I built a Pork Barrel a few months ago and it has low effect level. Has anyone experienced this issue? I am sure it is an incorrect component I installed. The pedal sounds beautiful but even with the level full up the effect is not very loud. I adjusted the trim pot many times and I feel that it set correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check the resistor values?
Yes sir I sure did and that is great idea to check the again thanks
I had that problem and in my case it was a fake mn3101 . Now it s working but it s more subtle than my original ce-2 .
OK guys I am worthless and weak. I have tried everything to get the effect level up only to fail. Do you guys know anyone with experience with this board that I could send this to and have it fixed?
I wouldn't give up so easily. It might just be that you need to take a bit of a break from it for a while.
Take a look at this thread and look at the info you need to share with us. When you get back to this, take a look at the voltages, and double check all the values and resolder any fishy solder joints. Once that's done, you might have found the problem.
