Yes, I searched and found nothing on this. All problems with this circuit seems to deal with having the proper fabricate of 4069:s. Judging from other posts, I do. I also truly believe I have good contact between my board and the chips. I built it from the Tonepad board with all the mods (maybe I should get rid of the mods first? - didn't think of that til now) and it works fine, it's just that it's output volume is extreeeeemely low. Anyone had this problem?

hello there.
I supporse that you mean the output volume when the effect is on is much lower than when in bypass. At least that's what happened to me. To deal with that i've built the lpb and put before the effect. Also read here

Yup, thats it! Thanks, I'll build one tomorrow!

I build the GGG version. It sounded ok but lost about 3dB of level and some bass. Just as described in the TP build reports.

I applied the mods in the TP build report and it's perfect. Same output level in bypass or when active, and no bass loss.

The GGG and TP project seem exactly alike. I don't think you should be having these issues.
It's time to buy a gun. That's what I've been thinking.
Maybe I can afford one, if I do a little less drinking. - Fred Eaglesmith
