Re: Catalinbread - Dirty Little Secret [traced]

If you are referring to taper for the Presence pot....I used a linear or 'B', taper....works fine!

Re: A/DA - Final Phase [schematic]

I'm not sure which version you based your build off of....but this is the reissue frequency reading. I took frequency readings at the test point (pin 10) of the 4047. With all controls CCW and the Range control CW, I measured: min. 34kHz max. 537kHz The reissue CV is 15 volts. The original is 5 volt...

Re: Musitronics - Mu-Tron - Flanger - C130 [schematic]

Will, The descriptions of your problem, "they do not seem to work", "I am not getting any response" are very vague.

If you could be so kind as to expand on the problem you are encountering...maybe someone here can offer some suggestions.

Re: Ibanez - FP-777 Flying Pan

Thanks for that Bernardduur! I recently checked the factory schematic against available board shots. Are you sure that the (red-trace side) 470K between C27 & R21 goes to Vref2? I see the Vref2 trace running under the 470K, and the 470K connected to the ground side of uninstalled R20. Also…good ...

Re: Maxon - AD-900 MN3008 version [schematic]

Just so I'm clear..the repeats are what sound "dark" to me with the AD-900 I actually did experiment with the filter values of the DM2. I built a daughter board for the AD-900 to switch different filter sections in.....it didn't work too well. For some reason that I don't understand...it c...

Re: Colorsound - Flanger [schematic]

Here is a preview of my progress with the board. Lacking trace side images, I used component side shots for reference for the component placement. There were two versions of the Colorsound Flanger. The schematics previously posted and this board layout reflect the second version which seems to have ...

Re: Boss - CS-2 Compressor Sustainer [schematic]

Google "BA662 vs BA6110 thread, again" this will show you how to replace the BA662 with a BA6110 and four transistors.

I have researched then implemented this retrofit in the Boss VB-2 circuit.

Why couldn't you have received a Colorsound flanger for repair? :slap:

Re: Colorsound - Flanger [schematic]

After I posted the redrawn schematics, I started working on identifying components from original board images to make a layout. While focusing my attention around the rotary switch, I noticed that the original drawing depicts the switching sequence as: Manual, Auto, ADT. That is incorrect. The origi...

Re: Tycobrahe - Parapedal [schematic]

At this point....I'm out of ideas. I would get rid of the sockets for the resistor and diode. Solder those components to the PCB directly. There seems to be intermittent bias voltage issues at pins 3 and 5 of the op amps. Some voltage readings are in the ballpark and then next readings the bias is o...

Re: Tycobrahe - Parapedal [schematic]

Okay...

You still have something going on.

The voltages from your reply @ 17:15 had the reference voltage at 2.9V...now it's down to 1.3V.

Pull the op amps and take voltages again.

Take a close up picture of the whole component side of the board.

Did you read Jim's post? I never thought to check your resistor values because ...I thought you would have double checked that before ever asking for help. with R14 a 1K instead of a 1M pull down...you are pulling the signal down to ground! No wonder the signal disappears at the beginning of the cir...
