$90,-- seems to be a bargain for three SAD 1024A inside - socketed.
Looks really nice, anyone has more info ?

(and apart from a delay it's a crash course in switched capacitor filtering!)

It's my drawing of the factory one, drawn in Excel, so there may be mistakes :wink:

It was lasted saved on 12 Feb 2004.

Thanks !!!! cool....

That´s how an analog-delay should look like ...with clock-dependent LowPass-Filters...yeah

Now we start with real electronics.... apart from simple fuzzboxes. :lol:

Which is quite a piece of reverse engineering. Respect!

@ AG,
You may be right with the clocked filters. However, the one I had on my bench 2 yrs ago and set up to the exact Ross specs after repair was far from the best analog delay's I've heard.

I'm making a simple repair on one of these monsters and am no good with schematics.
I found the problem: some of the wires between the board, the stereo switch, a pot and a 1/4" jack were knocked loose.
I need a photo that clearly illustrates which wires from the board go to which switch/pot/jack

I'd really appreciate it.
oh, and this is my first post

This delay is stereo, but there is a signal loss if we don't use it stereo. The original signal (not the delayed) is quieter and has much less low end. Using it stereo with a second amp solves the problem but i want to use it mono. How can i get rid off this signal loss? Any ideas ?
