built an english channel, pcb based on the ROG site. used the .047/50k cut control mod .....seems that the tone control hardly has any effect and the cut control adds treble on clockwise rotation....from my inital testing, this pedal has great potential, just a few bugs to work out in my case....any help would be greatly appreciated

nada ? anyway , fyi, i checked voltages as per ROG site and they are all within range .....

You probably have a wiring problem on the tone stack. I'm assuming this uses the standard vox top boost Treble/Bass tone stack. It is kind of tricky so go over your wiring carefully and make sure it is wired the way you think it is. It is pretty common to make mistakes wiring up this tone control- I've done it a bunch of times.

When I started building effects I had no "issues" at all - I had a lot of "problems" though :icon_biggrin:....and we didn't "address" them.....we solved them :icon_biggrin:

I think effects building has probably given me a few issues... Or at least reinforced issues I already had... :icon_wink:
