Re: Mystery 1983 FX PCB

C10 measured 100nF. C3 and C6 had more markings on the side we couldn't see: .10 and 50-V (C3 actually measured 84nF, but they are both probably meant to be 100nF).

Mystery 1983 FX PCB

Hi, gang! For this post, I present a mystery! I have a fully populated FX PCB w/ connected pots that I would like to identify. The only marking is JCW (or perhaps JCW II), and 1983. As you can see in the pictures, the board features a couple NE5532 dual op-amps. I think the two nice sealed pots (bot...

MXR slide pots

Hi, gang! I want to build a couple MXR 6-band EQs, and for a potential source for parts I bought an MXR 1/3 Octave EQ. My question for the group is: are the slide pots in the rack-mounted EQ the same as in the 6-band stomp box? They are marked 100-1040-104 (MXR part number?) and 1378342. Thanks for ...

Re: Memphis Tremolo Modulator reverse engineered [schematic]

I forgot to ask! Does anyone know where I could buy a replacement bottom plate for the enclosure?

Re: Memphis Tremolo Modulator reverse engineered [schematic]

Krystal, thanks for your excellent work. It was 2SA641 on my drawing, but my handwriting is not always sufficiently legible (another reason why I should draw schematics with a computer). Yes, the battery is a standard 9v. I too was a bit puzzled by the 2N171. Have you ran your schematic through any ...

Memphis Tremolo Modulator reverse engineered [schematic]

Hi, gang! Here are some gut shots of my Memphis Tremolo modulator, and also an x-ray component side shot of the PCB showing parts & placement. I have seen gut shots of many other Memphis pedals online that use the exact same PCB! VERY clever engineering! I had originally intended to draw up a sc...
