Same suggestion as the other module deep-dives. No test pads currently on the schematic. Calibration (especially after #2 makes R10 a trim) and debugging require clipping onto component leads.
Suggested test points
Power rails:
Signal path (on Board A):
- TP_Dry — input buffer output (U1A)
- TP_Xformer_out — transformer secondary post-HPF (U1B output)
- TP_Opto_in — opto-sat U2A input
- TP_Opto_out — opto-sat U2B output (right before C3 AC coupling)
- TP_Wet — wet signal post-AC coupling, going to U4A
- TP_Mix_pre_clip — wet/dry mix before diode clipping
- TP_Mix_post_clip — final output before exit jack
Vactrol drive (essential for #2 calibration):
- TP_Opto_LED — voltage across vactrol U3's LED (helps tune R10 trim)
- TP_Mix_LED — voltage across vactrol U6's LED (Mix CV processing health)
