Re: ARP Odyssey II no sound

2012-05-21 by Alexis V. Rogers

The pins are all in the proper sockets.

See my posting above. I have verified that the issue is within the VCF submodule. I tried jumpering the input and output of the VCF with no result, but with the submodule completely removed and a jumper across, I get output.

I've recapped the VCF, but haven't found what is shorting the audio signal.
