Looking to see if Mike or someone can help!
I built two Lola pres. LOLA 1 is just amazing...The second LOLA's DI sounds a bit distorted, and has a swirling sound at high gain levels. All the MIC preamp / Line tests completed on both pres yield identical results, so the issue is definitely isolated to the DI circuit. I even plugged in my Bass to a NEVE RNDI and ran it through the second pre's mic gain circuit just to check, and it sounded great. I went back and double checked that all component values and positions matched the parts list and lined up with pre 1. My guess would be a short on the board, or across a component etc. (Bad component possibly??) I looked at the former through a magnified photo, but I don't see anything. Does anyone know which components make up the DI circuit before it hits the amplification circuit etc? Thanks in advance.
