Hey all,
I built the ROG splitter-blend and I'm getting dc voltage at the output.  I don't have a ready schematic, but it's a basic circuit with a blend pot at the end, and both sides of the blend pot are fed from the outputs of the opamp, through a 10uf polarized cap.  I changed the cap twice, checked the polarity, etc. and I'm still seeing 4.5vdc.  I tried bigger caps I had around and same thing, some small drops but not what should be, unless I'm mistaken.  Any thoughts? 

Thanks!

Have you implemented the 1megaoohm resistor at the end? Without it the voltage on the blend pot might be floating http://www.runoffgroove.com/splitter-blend.html

Is your meter true RMS?  If not, you could be getting false readings.

Aha! The 1M resistor at the end was missing. Once that was mentioned I realized I had just rehoused the circuit, but replaced the jack with the pull down resistor for another. Oops!  Fixed! Thanks!
