PedalPCB Low Tide Mini Modulator - Calibration help

[Elvis Cocho]

Hi. I just built my low tide mini from pedal pcb but my pedal didn't come with any instructions for calibrating the bbd and the low pass gate. Does anyone have any info on how to bias the bbd and how to bias the low pass gate? It kind of sucks that the bbd and the bias trimpot are not on the same board so I cant just probe the input of the mn3207 and just set it to 1/2 of the 9.6 Volta coming in.

Id really appreciate any help from anyone who's already built one. Thank you

Have you asked on the pedal pcb forum yet?   I think you'd probably get help from someone with experience with this faster over there...

BBDs are NOT normally biased to half-supply. They are markedly asymmetric and different from chip to chip.

We always fed a steady signal and trimmed for loudest clean signal. But there may be a better method.

I struggled to figure out the trimpots on mine as well, here is a post with step-by-step instructions. Make sure you follow them carefully, as the positions of the knobs will affect the setting of the trimpots.
