dearinger ver.2 issues Help???

[bhound]

Has Anyone else built the dearinger ver.2. I am getting really low volume. nothing in vintage mode. Changed the trannys and I.C..  What should my voltages be ?  Double checked all my solders and connections. I am by no means a pro, however I have built  about 75 pedals and am pretty good at troubleshooting...but this has me scratching my head and other anatomical parts Thanks anyone

Are you using a center on DPDT for the mode switching?

What are your voltages on the IC?

[bhound]

It is an on/on/on  I was wondering on the dpdt is 3and4 connected? counting left to right top to bottom
I.C. voltage 1)5.9  2)8.9  3)5.9  4)8.9  5)5.9  6)8.9  7) ground  8.9

Okay, your voltages are way off. Pin4 should be 0, pin8 about 9v, and the rest somewhere around 4.5v.

Most likely you have some type of ground issue or perhaps a small bridge. If you have a magnifying glass, check it that way. It's very helpful.

Thanks, actually the way I counted the pins  was wrong. 4 is 0v or ground 
The problem was a bad trace. It looked o.k. but I jumped across and I'm back to normal Voltage wise.                               I... myself... on the other hand, am still a complete Knuckle dragging, slack jawed dimwit!

Ah, crap. Sorry about the trace. I always check before sending them out, and make a note if I see a small trace break. But, every once in a while one gets away.

Glad it was sorted out. Is it producing the correct sounds now?

I can verify - Brian gave me a note about one of the boards he sent me. It's not a problem for me at all.

After trouble shooting, I ran an a\b test against a real fulldrive2 . It is spot on!!!! Thanks for the help!
