Hey folks.
I have this problem on just one of my 1176 builds (the MNATS RevJ board with IC input stage).
Basically input level is a long way off on this one. (too high)
I've built a few but this is the first time I experienced this issue.
I've triple checked in case I used any different components or wiring from the last one I built (working fine) to this one, but I can't find the problem)..
Where usually I would have the input knob at say "24" (top centre) on my other unit, on this problem unit I get the same level coming in dialled right back down to "48" (ie. approx. 7 o'clock kinda position, almost off).
I've seen this problem mentioned quite a few times in relation to this build (mostly circa 2006/2007) and a few threads suggesting some thins to look at, but nothing really conclusive..
eg. this ref thread:

Everything else on my units are working the same in terms of compression amount and threshold operating point, but I have to have the problem unit dialled way back down at the input to get that same operating level.
I feel like I'm possibly hearing a bit of additional background noise which may be accompanying this too, but not sure at this point.
From what I have deduced across these various posts, it's looking like the change of R1A in the IC input stage (from 10k ohms to 3.7k ohms) is probably the most likely to sort out this issue on my unit, but wanted to ask if anyone worked out any other things that I really ought to check first?
Thanks!
Evan
