Hi all, I just assembled a '420 and am getting a strange problem. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on where the problem might lie: In HP mode the filter works correctly - and sounds great - with no resonance, but if I turn up the resonance, I just fade in more unfiltered sound instead of increasing resonance. So that with the resonance all the way open, there is effectively no filtering going on. When I put it in LP mode I hear nothing from the inputs at all. If I turn the resonance up I get a regular clicking. If I open up the res the clicking slows down, and if I adjust the filter freq, I can hear the filter acting on the clicking, but nothing from either of the 3 inputs is going through. NF is a weird mish-mash of both the above. After I first assembled it, it was doing this, then I double checked some of the joints and via holes and it started working fine, then I inserted a cable into the fm jacks and it went back to having the above problem. I've gone over all the stuff I did to get it working right the first time and no luck. I'm inclined to think that, because I had it working fine at one point, the problem is minor and that I'll find it in time - for example something was jarred loose by inserting that cable - but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on places to start? Certainly nothing is loose to the touch, and everything seems to be in the right place, but obviously I'm missing something, or it would be working. Any help much appreciated, Matthew
