Hi all, I just finished building my first kit, a '410, and it sounds great... mostly. Sadly the third filter doesn't seem want to play ball. It passes audio, but it's stuck at the highest setting, up around 30k, rendering it useless. No cv or knob twiddling makes it budge. Also - and maybe this is related - the second LFO doesn't produce an effect on the second or third filter. So basically the LFO switch does nothing. The first LFO works fine. I pulled the '410 out of the rack and detached the pcb from the bracket (sigh) to have a good look, but the soldering looks fine. There don't appear to be any shorts, unless they are a case of solder from the via holes (which are all filled) touching the underneath one of the mounted items, if that's even a concern. Also, I checked the resistors in the "filter 3 section" of the pcb (so R8, R10, R42, R58, R59) and everything is in the right spot. Given that this is the first time I've done soldering work of this scale since high school, I'm sure it's something I've done wrong, for example that one of the connections isn't soldered well enough, but I'm hesitant to just pull everything off the pcb and start again. Do these problems sound like they can be traced back to specific resistors/capacitors/etc? If anyone has any suggestions they would get my infinite gratitude. I'm really happy with the sound of the unit thus far, now if I can just get it 100%... Matthew
