War of the Ants not working?

Here’s a guide for correcting the “no noise visible” issue for future readers.

  1. Unmount your module so you can access the rear PCB, but leave it connected to EuroRack power supply. Monitor the “White noise” output jack.
  2. Wait for 5 minutes or so, so that it warms up to operating temperature. Grab a small philips screwdriver.
  3. While monitoring the output, adjust the trimmer highlighted in red in the below image. Turn it slowly until you see noise reappear on the output jack. Stop.
  4. Power off your system. Wait a bit. Turn it back on and verify that the noise output still looks good. It should, as long as you didn’t over-adjust the trimmer. If not, make another tweak and try again.
  5. Should be all good now!
