Help... I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what's going on with two 1176 units I built (One is MNATS ver, other is Gyraf). Both are acting the same.

1. In Bypass mode, they work great as line amps. PLENTY of gain, I'd say 3x input at least if I max it out.

2. In GR mode, they both compress and have been calibrated - BUT - Even with averaging around -6 db compression at about 10 o'clock on the input, with the output MAX I still have low output. With the 2:1 output configuration, I should be getting more gain than this right?

My main issue is that with the fixed thresholds, I cannot use this with any mic pre into my DAW because cranking the output gives a pretty healthy noise floor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've read the threads thoroughly but haven't found any solutions.
