I wired up my Glam pedal and I have a chorused sound, but a volume drop when the effect is on. The pulsing LED works, but there isn't a light showing on the on/off LED when it is on.
Q1 seems the farthest off- read left to right across the flat side it reads 2.64, 2.50, 2.50
REG left to right across the flat side 9.09, 0, 4.96

IC1 numbers all match up

IC2
1 4.96
2 2.47
3 0
4 0
5 1.63
6 2.4
7 ignored as per directions
8 ignored as per directions
9 2.48
10 2.48
11 2.48
12 2.48
13 2.48
14 2.48
15 2.48
16 2.48

I think I had the same problem.  Let me do some searching in this forum and look for a link.

Also, I don't think your board will fit in a 1590G, in case that's what you had planned.  The caps are too tall, and you socketed your IC.

Excellent! Thanks for the link to the other thread. This is going into a 6 in 1 build for a friend's son that is going into the biggest enclosure I've ever seen, so I've got plenty of room.

Did you adjust the trimmer to get 6v at the test pad?

bscur

Yes,  I was able to get it dialed to 6 where it sounded great, just much, much lower volume. I'll try swapping out the resistor this evening.
Thanks

Good luck. Sorry, I didn't notice the existing thread about the issue. I just got mine working the other day and volume is spot on. Lucky me I guess. :)
