Here are two must do mods that will bring your divided octave to life.
Replace R31 (82K) with a lower value to increase the octave level. I went with 47K which gives me an output that's a little higher than unity.
To offset the volume loss when engaging the BASS switch increase the value of R8 (22K). I took mine up to 220K and so far the results are very good.
Socket both resistors so you can tweak to taste.
i'm still really new to this.
can i switch R8 with 100k or 120k? 220k seems too high of an adjustment for what i'm looking for. thanks!
Give it a try! If you have sockets, that's the ideal way to test this kind of thing. But soldering in and removing a resistor a few times is pretty easy. I recommend leaving the leads intact and only inserting the resistor part way before soldering, so that it is easy to grasp if you decide to remove it. Then if you like it, you can melt one joint at a time and push it down flush with the PCB like the other components.
