If there are no markings on the bottom of the board, nope. It will only go in 2 ways and both sides do the same thing.

Does it matter which way up the rotary switch is?

Asking as the pins are numbered.

Cheers

I'll have to get their thoughts on soldering (lead, fumes, etc.)

Give them the truth. Lead solder = good.
RoHS compliant lead-free solder = fix it again and again and again which exposes you to more fumes, burns, and malfunctioning pcbs that cause electrical fire hazards, etc.

It's been better here. there is still significant delay between a post and its appearance and other basic stuff but the login issue are mostly gone. I removed the madbean cookies on chrome but i'm not sure that was the solution.

Thanks again guys. I'm going to get on top of this later this week. I'll either get it solved or look into migrating the forum. This is beyond dumb.

What you are looking for is the Archive section on the main shop page. It's in the VFE section

I found the doc but there's nothing about the trimmers or freqs.

General Questions / VFE Dragon Docs

Last post by strat68 - May 20, 2024, 08:09:42 PM

I finally got round to building the VFE Dragon I bought several years ago.  I can't seem to find a copy of the build doc on the site.  Does anyone have any info on the trimmers inside and the frequency sweeps  of the to filters?

I flew out to CA for a few days to intercept a shipping POD of stuff we shipped from here.  I'd shipped a Harmony guitar that the then-president gave me that was never completed.  It was a Chinese knock off of a Gretsch and they spelled the name wrong so I don't believe he moved forward from there.  I put a Bigsby and roller bridge on it with CTS electronics and GFS Filter-tron pickups.

The amp is an old Traynor when they first got into solid-state.  It's a TS-25 and highly under rated.  The original spreaker crumbled so I replaced it with a WGS.

Sometimes it's not about a pedal.  It's just an old amp with an attitude and a cheap guitar with lots of TLC.




Clip was done with my phone using only the amp's reverb.  Fun times.
