Open Discussion / timefactor aux pedal
April 24, 2016, 07:57:25 PM
hi, all i have a time factor delay and a dd7 delay, the thing its i want to control tap tempo with just one switch and the preset with another one, but i want the tap tempo for both pedals to be the same, i have two carling SPSt NO switches, but im no so sure about the wiring, do i connect one switch lugs to tip and ground, so when i push the switch the delay take ground reference to change the tap??, and i put a diode on the second switch for another reference for the delays to know i want to change banks or pressets??, im a bit confused in here, also for the delays wil be the same wiring but different output ans same switches, so the output jacks will be only connected one to each other.

Open Discussion / wampler pinnacle deluxe help
March 02, 2016, 01:04:50 AM
i got a friend who got a pinnacle that got burned a resistor that ints on the output of 9v i think its labeled R30 but im not so sure its the one that goes to the drain of Q4, does anybody have a pinnacle deluxe that could help me to replace that one??, somebody was clever enough to connect a 12v on that pedal, and the resistor could not resist that.

Build Reports / deadringer
January 30, 2016, 12:24:42 AM
Well this may not be a build report since i bought the pedal from Shu maker, but i repainted with powder coat black and make a photoshop for a friend, this pedal its so good on bass, with no mods, so clear and so good, but on bass its almost lack of power without the boost on, but with the boost its like a beast

Open Discussion / line 6 gx port
April 04, 2015, 11:00:59 PM
hi, all i have never record something by myself, and want to try something (on boring days) nothing big just record myself, i bought a line 6 gx, the smallest one, and seems quite simple, but should i use it direct to my pc---podfarm---recording prog, or the best its to mic the amp and then go to the interface??,

Hi all i got a rampage fron a friend fried by someone trying to repair the board bit lift all pots pads and in/out jacks and power jack so i email at jim in rocktron and he gave me the Schematic for the pedal so maybe can try a layout bit in not so good at layouts maybe somebody can help me at some points when ir maybe somebody its interested in making the PCB too


edit. schematic uploaded

Tech Help - Projects Page / wah inductor bobin help
March 19, 2015, 07:59:50 PM
well i have access to an inductance meter so i would like to bobin my own inductor, i have a cry baby board and maybe(if i find it) a broken black inductor, so the core will be useful, but maybe you can tell me about wire gauge and inductance to achive for a some good wah wah and not the standard CB also maybe i will try to use a Weener Wah II board instead of the CB

Open Discussion / quasar bass mod typo
March 17, 2015, 06:29:47 AM
well i have been days trying make my quasar( bass band mate) but i could get it, instead of boosting it was eating the signal, at max volumen even below unity volumen was coming out of the pedal, the strange part to me was that the gain knob really did nothing, so that was my first clue, i post on the tech help but no one said anything so today start making something and when i was chicking the schematic i saw that on the op amp in the clipping there its a cap(C3) and on the build doc was 150pf but on bass mod version it was replaced by 47nf, i thought that caps it too big for going there, so it almost eat all the signal, then replace it for a 100pf cap, and that was the big deal, lots and lots of volume boosting and gain, so i think that instead of 47nf should be 47pf or max 470pf, not so sure, but i saw that the bigger the capp in there the more bass on the output, so 470pf should be good or not??

Tech Help - Projects Page / quasar below unity
March 14, 2015, 02:07:26 AM
hi all, its me again with my problems, this time its not popng issues, i just build a bass RC from the quasar, the pedals has very low volumen even below unity on max gain and volume, i have change op amps an even tried other types of op amps,volumen knobs works fine(cancel volumen at minimun) treble and bass are just fine, but drive sound the same on min than max, voltages on IC are normal, could be bad transistor in buffer??


so i have readings and photos.

IC
1 4.5v
2 4.5v
3 4.5v
4 0v
5 9v
6 4.5v
7 4.5v
8 4.5v
9 4.5v

Tech Help - Projects Page / afterlife popping
March 11, 2015, 04:23:18 PM
Hi all i got an afterlife popping so hard no even optical bypass stop that from pops do have any idea where i should look??? Got all elrctros nichicon audio grade caps dioses are fine all xicon 1% resitors.... Still pops so hard that its useless
#18
hey i ha manage to get my bypass without pops, but now im getting lower volumen, even below unity, on my booster SHO, even at max, i cant get more than unity, and the afterlife at max volume its below unity, im using rullywow Detour, could it be my led resistor option? had used a 3.3k one...

any other idea?
#19
danm im getting like crazy over here have two pedals i really like but they pop like hell, and afterlife and a SHO, so i said why not an optical bypass, SHO works good like two days, then the pop returns, also the afterlife, they only pop when engage the pedal when turn off zero pop, have no leds just to be sure, and nothing, bypass works fine, but its an optical relay, why would it pop??, also i have seen that if i touch the enclosure or the switch with my hand, a get that noise in the pedal as if i were touching the tip.... ot so sure why.

also i have no pcb mount switch i have wire a 3pdt as dpdt to make it work.

hi all i want to build a small cross over but im not so sure how to calculate the frequency and the inductance to make it




does anybody have any idea on how to target the frequency on that simple crossover??
