REALLY? that why it doesn't work. A transistor is not suited for this and that's why your voltages on G were out of spec.
Now I've seen this before but on the input section, the FET goes down so let's put a transistor in it, that would work fine , euh NOT. You can't believe what some tech's do.
Yeah, I realized this MP-1 had been modded before, there are sockets on some of the ICs that I didn't put in that don't exist on my other MP-1.
No biggie. Got everything finished up today except the replacement of the tubeboard 2SK364 FETs. Military spec 1% metal film resistors in the audio path, replaced all the caps (electrolytic, NP and ceramic) with upgraded versions, did the bass warp pot, mid-scoop pot, replaced the TL072s I had in U11 and U15 with NE5332 op-amps...this things is better than new inside.
Only thing remaining is to get those FETs sorted out and then figure out why the chorus isn't working. I read the other chorus thread, tried a few things, still nothing - so I'm thinking either the trim pot is bad, or the IC has failed. We shall see.
