My first guess is that something is wrong with LFO #2 and the output is stuck near the positive rail. Have a look at U5 pin 14 to see if LFO #2 is oscillating. If that looks good then trace the LFO signal through U7B and then into the driver for D3 (U4B, VR4, Q9, and Q6). That's where I'd start looking. >I just finished building my first kit, a '410, and it sounds great... >mostly.
