Re: Roland - AP-7 Jet Phaser [schematic]

I remember reading some builders had issues with the sweep range. Either bottoming out or not getting the full sweep.

I keep thinking that could be fixed if I can get measurements while the pedal is operational, but I would want to know what to measure.

Re: Roland - AP-7 Jet Phaser [schematic]

Oh yeah! 10K setting for the vgsOff! :slap:

I guess the spread could be worse! But basically any decent modern fet would suffice? 2N5457 or something like that? I have to check the pdf's.

Re: Roland Jet Phase incoming!

Okay I posted my initial FET measurements. Only for the 8 phasing FETS right now.

When I get more time, I take measurements of the other fets

Re: Roland - AP-7 Jet Phaser [schematic]

Q5 seems to be the only one "off" of the groups value(s).

I'll recheck this week if I have time.

Re: Roland - AP-7 Jet Phaser [schematic]

Here are my vgsoff and vgsM readings for the 8 2SK30A's Top of pcb fets Q7 1.05 off 3.33 m Q6 1.09 off 3.39 m Q5 1.23 off 3.46 m Q4. 1.08 off 3.35 m Bottom fets Q8. 1.15 off 3.35 m Q9 1.15 off 3.26 - 3.37 ? Q10 1.10 off 3.33 m Q11 1.18 off 3.33 m I don't have time right now to get more measurements,...

Re: Roland Jet Phase incoming!

Cool.

I should test ALL fets in the phase section yes? Not just like 2 - 4 ?

Re: Roland Jet Phase incoming!

I would love to get the specs of the matched JFETs! Vgs(10k), Vgs(off) and Idss if you’re able. I’m curious to see how the voltages match up with something more common like the Phase 90. I saw some taken from a unit awhile ago that were in the 0.7-0.8v range, which seemed really low to me - so I’m ...

Re: Pigtronix Mothership II ( Small Unit )

I saw that and just went okay, this is either a dsp, micro controller? or some kind of analog freq translator chip?

But I haven't googled anything yet.

I promise to start getting the pics posted! its a 3 pcb inside a tiny box effect so I want to be super careful with disassembly.
