Guys, I'm having trouble getting my project to work, I could really use your help..
The project:

1.Corral Chorus from Tonepad
2.http://www.tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=101
3.Using a good PCB, I closely followed the layout from the pdf
4.I've done these mods: Effect Level and Wet Bass Switching (both detailed in the pdf)
5.Substituted parts: TL022 with LM358 and/or TL072 (both I researched, should be good), for the 4558 I used JRC4558DD, the MN's are from banzaimusic
6.There's actually no chorus effect whatsoever, just a buffered output.

I've checked rechecked the solder joints at least 3 times, also I didn't see any bridges or damages to the PCB.
I've checked the voltages to some other posts on this forum, and they seem to match (mine are a bit higher because my power supply puts out 9.36 V)
I can remeasure the values and post them if you want, but I think there's no need..
I used an audio probe to probe around the PCB and it seems fine, I just can't get the damned chorus effect to work..
Also,  I've verified the electrolytic caps..

Thanks!

OK I've managed to solve the issue, a part of a cut resistor leg got stuck between two solder joints and caused a bridge (lol) it's now working but I'm not sure if this is what it should sound like..
It sounds more like it's between a flanger and a chorus, to my ear..
I've never heard a CE-2 before, though..
Thoughts?
