My IVY is having an issue where it is only attenuating at the moment (IE. not working), right now I have to turn my amplifier all the way up so that I hear the distorted music. I did make some modifications and made R1-4 390R, omitted C1-4, jumpered R5-8, and put 1nf multicap film caps at each input to ground. I'm hoping its an obvious mistake I just have not been able to find yet. Sorry to be a bother, hopefully I learn how to troubleshoot better from this.

Here are a few pictures:

Was it working then stopped, or just never worked? What voltage are you running it at?

It never worked, I'm running it at 15V.

Okay. Have you verified your power input is not reversed (+15V -0 -15V)? I cannot see this from the pictures.

I picture of the bottom of your IVY board would be helpful as well.

I have it wired correctly, but set at +7.5V,0,-7.5V. That may be the problem.

Here is the bottom anyway:

That is the problem. 12V rails are the minimum. Anything less and the relay will not operate correctly.
