I got the same issue yesterday with a Yocto a guy brought me, there's was no "snare strainer" (no pink noise) and the clap was pretty low in volume. So i tried to calibrate the noise but cannot get anything good, so I did the mod suggested on page 15 of the service manual (http://www.ericarcher.net/wp-content/up ... vc-man.pdf) and it's also mentionned on Masuto's website https://masutopedals.wordpress.com/2016 ... ding-tips/.

To resume
- R129 is replaced with a jumper,
- R131 (originally 300K) is replaced with 100K,
- R127 (originally 4.7K) is replaced with a 10uF polarized cap (Masuto show the correct orientation, negative side on the right side of R127, going to the ground)
- add a 22pF cap in parrallel with R130

After the mod, I was able to dial 130mV from the noise section, hope it solves your tuning issues!

It's weird cause on the first yocto I built (from the first batch), I didn't had to do any mod for the noise section.
Thank you, this is working for me too :-)

grtzzz,

Danny
