Applauds!

Well, I think that is easy to happend, you have to follow Gene's wiring
instructions closely and not assume the fashion of wiring. My List-fronted
ASM-1 suffers the same problem. Now that I accidentilly had the filter output
jack crashed I have yeat another reason to open up to fix it.

OK, let me know and I will link you in from the ASM-1 homepage...

Yeah, an ASM-1 should be alot of fun!!!

Didn't you save some jack without attenuator for keyboard interfacing?

Keep at it!
