I built a 5 knob compressor a while ago and it started sounding.....strange. BYOC sent me a replacement chip and it seemed to fix it. For a while. Then it sounded strange again.
What's "strange"? Tone knob seems to have almost no noticeable effect, if I turn the ratio full CW the output disappears, seems to be doing some kind of distortion rather than compressing....my behringer compressor sounds 100 times better
Things that seem to work as expected: LED comes on, 9V battery and power supply work, volume/level works.
Are these symptoms of a bad chip? And if so, what could be damaging it? I can upload pics, but when I checked the board over nothing seemed wrong. Anyway, if there was a wiring/solder bridge/etc problem it seems weird that it would work as expected for a while, then go all strange on me.
Any ideas?
