ok, first build here, and once i finished and plugged in, AMAZING! it felt so good to have such a great sounding pedal on the first try. go me, right?
well after a few days of little usage (not on purpose, was busy), it has developed an issue. when i click it on, it will onyl work fully if i have a very high signal (slammed chord) going into it. once this occurs, it works fine, maintianing all the dynamics it's supposed to, but if i try to click it on with even a moderately high signal (amp set to breakup, enough to get a decent crunch) it gets super quiet and tinny. will provide pics of the build before too long, but i am in the middle of the persian gulf on a warship, so it's not always that easy. like i said, when it works, it works like a charm, but unless i am windmill-strumming, it just wont. at first it seemed like a DC jack issue, since when i wiggled the DC input, it would go in and out, but now wiggling the DC in doesnt do anything. it's only the signal trigger issue, as best as i can explain it. any others encounter this? if there is another thread, please direct me, but our internet connection out here doesnt always allow for reading 30 pages of threads if you know what i mean. basically, imagine our countries navy as being stuck in 1996 computer technology. hahaha
thanks for any help in advance.
