Hi Beans !

I just finished an "Imp V2" build and everything works fine, except for the gain that seems to be very low. Even with the knob fully CW I can hear a dark distorted fuzzy sound in the background, but the core sound stay in the "mild drive" range.
I can't compare with the original but from demo's I've watched online, this pedal should go from clean to pretty aggressive sounds.
Volume knob's boost range is huge on the other hand... is it normal ?

I messed with D5 and D6, swapping 1N270 with 1N34A but nothing changed.
Sounds like the dirty and clean signal are not blended correctly together.

Anyone experienced something similar with this build ?

Hello!

This is my version of Drolo's Mercury Phaser : The Maze (treMolo + phAZE, so many options it's easy to be lost )
It's basically the Liquid Mercury (sounds fantastic!) with the Electric Druid optical tremolo circuit in series. Both are controlled by the tap tempo and the same LFO circuit. I expanded the waveforms option to the eight ones available from the chip.
I also added a VC output to control external pedals with the LFO (my EHX Ring Thing or my homemade meatball). It works like a charm and allow to achieve really weird synth sounds! Thanks to David for this awesome circuit!
Here's the picture of the controls and artwork. I had some difficulties with etching but it finally looks OK for me...
