Don't forget, the pot is in parallel with the 22k resistor (from +IN to Ground).
I was assuming that it was isolated by the input cap. 😕

If you use the input cap, yes.
Not everybody uses it.
The input cap will only protect from DC from the source.
With NI, I would rather use the Ci cap. and have 2~5mv DC-offset.😎

But I guess you would rather go with inverted anyway! 😉
Regarding the Ci cap that Carlos mentions, has anyone tried it on their Gainclone?
I might be interested in trying this with Brian's PCB. Carlos, should I stick with the 22 uF cap in that case?
Thanks.

22uf is fine if you use 1k for Ri.
If 680 ohms, go for 33uf.
Bypass with 0.1~0.22uf poly.
Yes, I tried with and without that cap.
With the cap I have 4mv on one channel, 5mv on the other one.😀
Without the cap, I don't remember, it was long ago...
But it was much higher than this.
I used 33uf + 0.15uf poly.

I've just read on the gc glossary that to bypass is to offer a low impedance route for high frequency noise. I just want to make sure this means connecting the 0.1uf in parallel with the 33uf?
I'll give the Ci cap a go too 😉

Why use low ESR caps, then?
