Sharkfin Volume Drop

Hi All,

I love the Sharkfin I just built, but it has a noticeable volume drop on the filter setting. I've checked and rechecked the components and played it directly into my amp--no pedals before or after--and it still drops volume. The sample/hold side is fine and sounds great, finally have it dialed-in pretty well. But I'm hoping someone might have some ideas on the volume drop. I'm also relatively new to pedal-building, so if there's a standard debugging or fix for volume drops, I'm not familiar with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I think Marko reported something similar here: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=12625.0
and modded it in consecuence

Yeah, I am having this EXACT same issue.

Besides the volume difference, how does the filter sound?. Mine sounds a little harsh and I am not sure if it's right. I have done one of Marko's mods but not the clean blend yet.
