Just happening now.  Doesn't matter what pedals I have in the loop.  I haven't touched anything since I initially completed the build. I've let the pedal sit unused on a shelf between the time of initial successful testing and now.

Ok I've just received a reply from Peter..

"My original design did use a buffer for the bias voltage, but it had some major issues. It's been so long since I was at that part of the design phase, so I can't remember exactly what the problems were. I just remember that when I abandoned the buffered bias and went to a simple voltage divider using 1k resistors, it worked great."

I'm still going to move forward with the buffer board.  As an engineer, it makes sense to me, and I cannot see a scenario where it would cause a problem.  Of course, I need to fix other things before I move forward.

I like your attitude!! I too will sit it out and await your results.

How's the KB repair going man? Found the source of the problem yet? Hopefully it's something obvious/easy to identify!

Haven't cracked it open yet.  Maybe tonight I will reflow all of the pots and switches.  Hoping that's all I need to do.

For your sake, I'm hoping that's the case as well.

Keeping all extremities crossed for you!! Best of luck.

Any luck getting your KB functional again dude?

Haven't worked on it.  Focusing on a couple other projects at the moment.
