GGG Digital Reverb... strange mix issue

[gutsofgold]

I built the GGG Digital Reverb based on the Belton Brick (medium length) and it works fine. The reverb seems to sound as it should when I compare it to demo's online. Same depth and tone. However, I feel as though there isn't enough reverb coming through the mix. Even with the mix pot cranked the reverb isn't that "up front" and the clean signal isn't effected enough it seems. My IC voltages all check out. The 5v regulator is putting out 4.91 volts. I did not sub any values, used exactly what the GGG kit calls for.

Hi..

I have the same problem "not enough reverb".  Anyone can help to solve this problem.  The brick is "M"

Weird. Mine works very nicely, but I also built it about a year ago. I wonder if they made some kind of change to it?

I already found the problem.  There is one resistor wrong value.

I was going to mention double checking the resistor values. I seem to remember finding a wrong value resistor in my kit, but I don't remember for sure. Anyway, glad you got it working.

Thank you.. Paul.  my friend always said I'm color blind.  It's hardly for me to identify between red, orange,brown.  I put 2.2k instead 22k.

My old electronics professor couldn't distinguish between green and orange... Therefore he completely distrusted color codes and used a multimeter for every resistor. I'm glad I don't have that gene.

That's what I do a lot of the time, it's just easier. But when you get a parts kit with those five color band resistors, like what was supplied in my GGG reverb kit, it's far easier to use the DMM to check the values.
