ce-2 build report and mod question

[jeff g]

I just finished the tonepad CE-2 chorus - mostly stock, but I did enlarge the PCB and substituted 470 k for R32 

Great layout - it worked right away and sounds great with no debugging !!  Nice lush chorus, nice range of sounds, no ticking (I used shielded wire but I'm not sure it was even necessary as I didn't hear ticking when I was testing the board with jumpers)


The vibrato mod and the depth mod (with 47 pf and 100 pf caps) produce fairly big changes in mine.  The vibrato is really strong, almost nauseating with depth on high - but kind of interesting.

But, the Wet Bass and Level Pot mods have absolutely no effect in mine, using different cap values and pot values.  Any suggestions/ clues where to look to fix this?

If I can't figure this out, I guess I'll just leave the Level Pot unconnected, with some goofy label like 'Extreme Boost' or 'Vintage'

Note that these affect only the wet signal, not the dry signal, so they are not easy to hear.  Set the unit to vibrato (wet only).  If the bass cut and level controls have no discernible impact under those circumstances, then obviously something is amiss.
