I'm building a circuit that allows me to blend a guitar effect in and out, based on >this< (page 2, bottom circuit). I have, however, replaced the 10k pot and the 15k and 51k resistors with 100k, 150k and 510k.
The blending works fine, however the volume is too low, and the blend pot is prone to noise when in the middle position, which makes me think of an impedance problem. Do I have to replace the 1M resistors at FX in and FX out with 10M ones?
Also, the circuit clips quite early. I checked the voltages at the opamp's pins, and, while the second half is OK, the first half has 3.5 at the non-inverting input and 4.5 at the inverting one and at the output. Those should all be within 10mV from each other, right? Try as I might, I couldn't make it right.
I'm in kind of a hurry, and this pedal has already taken me more time than I could possibly give. I'll be immensely thankful if somebody pointed me in the right direction.
