Suhr Riot Clone is VERY Low Volume, LowTone, Low Gain

Hello Everybody



http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2016/09/suhr-riot.html

1. I'm using a RC4558 instead of the JRC4580

2. I'm using 1N4148 Diodes(D1,D2,D3) //  LED Red(D4,D5) // 1N34A(D6,D7,D8,D9)

3. I'm using R(11.25K,8.25K) instead of The R(12K,8.2K)

4. Gain (B100K),Tone(B10K),Volume(B10K)

5. On my SPDT on/on/on switch

What'up for me?

Please Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey bud, I'd recommend checking that you have correct resistor values.

Check every value is correct - remember to check the colour codes against a chart such as this - http://www.digikey.com.au/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-resistor-color-code-4-band

Thanks for your feedback. I'll double check them using the setup you recommended and keep your remark on the Resister
I found resister 1M(cross IC pin6 to pin7) it's short and drop ~ to 200K  :-[ :-[   And  I replace with new resister...........It's work!!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

When I increase volume or gain it's noise out

just my 2p..

i breadboarded up a suhr 'riot' a few times to make 'suhr' i had it right , with 4580D and was very, very, underwhelmed...

it was too dark, not nearly as much gain as i would have expected either...

overall, quite meh.....gave up on it all together. didn't sound like any real demo's at all...

Can you show your pcb top side and button side?

i breadboarded it from a schematic....no pcb, didnt get that far.
