This is not completely right...
78Lxx regulators can stand 0,7W without heatsink, then you should check the voltage drop would not exceed max power allowed.
ie with 12V it can feed 100mA, since you'll have 7V drop...

So,in this case its a pure analog direct signal mixed with digital processed delay signal.
Pure analog delays are all those that use BBD chips such MN3007,SAD1024 etc.
Which chip is it?

pcb details in the first posts in this thread, worth reading back...

"Chips are PT2399, SA571N, RC4558P" to quote initial poster.

So... SA571N? Is this the one that converts analog signal to binary?

I am aware forums are to ask questions. However there's also the concept of "how about figuring out yourself"? Since a 30 second search would have shown you the datasheets for the SA571 and the PT2399 chips. With those you could have answered the question yourself ;-)
Sorry. Plain out of planes.

Well... I took PT2399 out because it is one of the most used chips on the so called analog delays.

I thought that anything digital is something that has at least a DAC/ADC converter somewhere on the signal path, am I right?
So if it's not 2399 doing this, I thought it must be SA571, but I got confused because what i found is that this is a Compander chip, and according to datasheets it has nothing to do with binary code whatsoever.
http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/AND8159-D.PDF
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companding ("Companding is used in digital telephony systems, compressing before input to an analog-to-digital converter, and then expanding after a digital-to-analog converter.(...)")

So where is the ADC/DAC, if its not PT2399 or 571N chip?

There's something Im missing here.... a lot.
And to answer about the concept of "how about figuring out yourself", you can see im trying but I might be ignorant, but im not stupid...

Did you check PT's datasheet?

:slap: of course, you are right!
I took it out of the "equation" because it's been used for those so-called "analog" delays, or so i thought. But I was wrong, like deep blue delay it's digital/analog (and not analog only)...
Thank you all!
My bad sorry guys.

Hi!

I joined the forum as I have a faulty Joyo Digital Delay and very limited knowledge of electronics!

As far as I can tell the board looks to be in tact. I found another thread which recommended checking if the IC heated up during use. It doesn't.

There is power (the LED comes on. Guitar passes through when off, but not when on. If I turn up the Level pot it produces a horrible squeal.

If anyone has any clues on how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks

Has anyone ever modified this effect?

Not that I've seen, I plan to buy one soon though, I'll have a look at it then.

I got one of these in for repair the other day.

It didn't pass a signal but if you turned the Repeat knob up full it went into oscillation so the 2399 and the 571 was ok.

I traced the signal as far as pin 5 (IIRC) of the 4558 but no further so changed the 4558 and it is now fully working.

Most effects have no input protection on the op-amps (going over the rails will kill the chip) so people plug them into effects loops where the voltage swing is higher than the supply voltage and they die.

That was my thought as well.

I'm taking it back tomorrow so if it's there next week waiting to be repaired again I'll know that the amp is probably faulty.

If there is a next time it will be a lot easier because I always put sockets in for any chips that I change.
