First off - as is, this is completely usable as is and I can pretend I'm East Bay Ray from the Dead Kennedys with his echoplex all day with the sounds I'm getting now.
The question - everything on the pedal is working as expected - it does what it says it will do 100% but :
When I'm playing, even clean, and even set with minimal repeats/delay, the echoes start breaking up/getting fuzzy from the very first one. When I was doing the build, I sat with a magnifying glass and reflowed anything that looked suspect (I have been bitten before...), so I'm -reasonably- willing to trust my soldering right now (if it comes down to it, and there are no suggestions, I'll take it apart and get pictures, but this is the first pedal I feel like I did "right", so I'm REALLY hoping not to have to...
)
Where is the first place to start troubleshooting, assuming that it's doing 99.99% of what it's supposed to be doing?
Or, alternately, is this expected behavior, and I get on with my life with a nice little echoplex/memory fuzzy echo thing going on?
