Hi guys, so I just finished building the katana and have it wired up for testing. Everything seems to work, but maybe it's me, but it seems the clean boost is REALLY dark. As there isn't a tone/treble knob, I'm wondering if something is wrong or if it's supposed to be this way. I'm thinking not as it's touted as being very transparent.
When testing with a battery, I get 16.9v.
IC pinouts are 8.6--4.3--0--0--0--4--3.6--8.6
JFETs are both D8.4--S1.2--G0
The second issue I see is there is a big pop when you switch modes(I'm using a push/pull pot). Would putting a resistor(unsure of the size) inline with the 2 caps on the switch remedy this? Would it cause any type of tone change? As far as I can tell, the real katana doesn't pop, so I wonder if maybe the layout is missing a few part/s?
