Turned one way (down/to the left) it turns the volume almost all the way down but a tiny bit a fuzz. The other way almost sounds like clean and fuzz together (may be normal at that position, not sure?). Is it the balance A's that are the cleans? I did the basics as far as checking for solder blobs and reheating joints.. Nothing's changed yet. I will come back to it later with fresh eyes. If anyone has ideas for me I would love some advice!heartbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390869775596309482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-86707087329648674802021-01-08T04:16:23.314-05:002021-01-08T04:16:23.314-05:00Anyone have an idea what would cause the balance k...Anyone have an idea what would cause the balance knob to effect both signals identically instead of inversely?BoltBagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121448579741578565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-87537368024350383442020-12-09T02:40:09.751-05:002020-12-09T02:40:09.751-05:00Verified.

The in-between positions sound like two guitar tracks, one fuzzy and one clean, playing simultaneously.<br /><br />The thin position on the tone switch is louder than the full-range position. Someone on the vero site suggested lowering the 470k resistor off the switch to a 180k to even out the volume levels.<br /><br />The Sustain pot controls how fast the fuzz side decays, rather than working as a normal gain control as I'd assumed. The decay always sounds a bit glitchy at the end, though.JDThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252685794749449237noreply@blogger.com
