Re: SMALL STONE VOLUME DROP

Hello RG ,I started and increased R9 from 270k to 470k nothing,1M nothing..So then I went to increase R11 and found it was 3k3 not 33k like the picture of board JD posted says, and R10 was 4k7 not 47k..anyway I increased R11 3k3 to 4k7 and R10 4k7 to 3k3 and it worked..however with the color switch up it bleeds through when the effect is off (and I have true bypass dpdt switch installed so I dont know how that could happen)...so I increased R11 to 10k and put R10 back to original 4k7 and it seems to be doing the trick...I'll have to see if there is any tone loss with the 10k ...but it seems pretty good....Thanks for all your help RG, JD it really helps to have guys like you out there so I can make these pedals MUCH more useful...Thanks again,Dave

JD Sleep	Dave, I'll get those values fixed on the layout today. I can not see most of the decimal points on the schematic. I thought I had double checked against the real values, but I must have missed a couple. JD

JD Sleep	Dave, I think you mean R12 when you say R10? So in the end the change that seemed to work best for you was: changed R42 from 4k7 to 10k changed R11 from 3k3 to 10k Correct? JD

Hi JD, I dont know how I wrote R10(must of been half asleep) thanks for pointing that out...You are correct with changed R42 from 4k7 to 10k
changed R11 from 3k3 to 10k...but I am not sure that is the best right now it is the best Ive tried.....seemed good,but it was getting late so ...i'll play with it some more tonight...true by pass works great too..no popping when switched..also it is still a c--- hair less volume when on,but I like that ..its perfect for me(pretty damn even)...BTW thanks again JD for providing that chart as I dont think I could have found it on the schematic....Dave
