hi guys,
i slapped together a crybaby out of parts for a friend last nite that needed one, but ran into a bizzarre problem...
it was a gcb95, earlier style replacement board that someone had removed the input buffer from...the gain resistor of q1 was replaced with a trimmer by whomever owned it before, i like it cranked (no surprise)
but here's my question...could the CIRCUIT make scratching noises from having the gain too far off?
i thought it was a bad pot...i replaced it. twice. i even took the pots out of two cb's i KNOW are good...
and all of 'em scratch, but only in this one stupid circuit. any ideas?
he loves the thing, into enough distortion it's pretty much inaudible, but it's driving ME nuts. gotta figure it out!
