Hi Dave,
Have you increased the value of the 1N impact capacitor ? This is
marked in red in Ken's schematics. I use a 10n here with a 25k pot
and it give a satisfying range of "thwaps."
It shouldn't last 2-3 seconds, are you sure that's not just the
filter ringing ? The impact sound is essentially a click mixed in on
the attack of the drum sound.
Regards,
Michael Ford
