I have some problems with my Boss PH-2 Phaser pedal.
When active, the output volume drops to a level where the sound can barely be heard. Adjusting the rate/depth/res/mode knobs still changes the sound as expected.
Below are the results of measurements done while the pedal was running on battery power.
Any help would be appreciated.

D5 and R9 are removed and replaced by a jumper, for the pedal to be powered by a 9v regulated PSU.

The following measurements were made
Q1
S 4,85 V
G 3,70 V
D 8,18 V
