Any thoughts about the issue? I've triple checked every componen and connection.

Thank!

Thanks!

Do you think it's ok if I add a blend control like this? Is there a better way?: (PUP4)

Pot lug 1 to TL074 U3B 6
Pot lug 2 to TL074 input
Pot lug 3 to TL074 U1A 3

I've tried various B type pots, from 10k to 1M and don't know why, the 50k was by far the less noisy at 0% (no fx)

Thanks!!

Excelent! thanks! every ground is Vr in the snippet or just the pot one?

So is this ok? in this diagram I should split into let's sayfor example two 4.7k resistors each R33 and R34?
