Hi, I just joined the forum.

I am very very new to building effects. I am still in the paint by numbers phase. I am only really building clones with PCBs that are readily available. I am hoping to get a better understanding as time goes on and hopefully make some cool stuff of my own.

Anyway, I have a Kingsley Harlot v2. A friend of mine traced it and made the schematic. From what I understand he changed some of the capacitors and resistors, but the original uses 630v polyester caps and 1/2 resistors.

He also did not trace the power supply, but I do know its a "nixie" supply and probably similar to the Page that is also posted on here.

Hope you all enjoy. Please feel free to update it if you like. I would, but I do not really know what I am doing. I am mostly a spectator at this point, but I thought I would share to other stomp box enthusiasts

I am going to include some gut shots soon. I haven't had a chance to take any just yet.

Today I made a device according to your scheme. It is not correct. Refine the values R5 c11 c12 R12

I am very sorry I did not trace it. I just posted what was traced and given to me. I can include some pictures of the internals, but I am not sure how to measure the voltages.

There are some mistakes in a first post schematic.
Take it correct one. :)

Hey thanks! I am still going to post some pics later just so everyone can see the loveliness inside and up close!

Thanks for pics. Any chance for more pics so we can trace power supply pcb? Could you take pics of bottom side of power supply pcb, also we need values of the yellow multilayer cap, el.cap behind the irf730 and the value of the el.cap close to 6v3 regulator.

I will if it’s fairly easy to take apart and put back together.

Honestly, it’s really hard to get better pics. I would have to de-solder wires if I wanted to get clearer pics

Here is PSU schematic based on guesses and readable values of components, but without 6v3 regulator.

Easiest way is to unscrew two screws that are holding pcb, that would give you enough space to take pics..

Easier said than done. The second screw is really hard to get to. I even unscrewed the switch and tried to move it but the wires are so tight that I couldn’t get to the screw. I will mess with it more later and see if I can get to it

There is a thread where someone traced their Kingsley Page. I would bet it has the same power supply in it?

This is the best one I got. If I have a chance tonight, I will try to get better access to the power supply.

Thanks for trying. Can you read numbers on the yellow capacitor?

It is same, but from pictures in that thread that smps circuit is smd, so it is much harder to trace then through hole part pcb..

I haven't had a chance to see if I can get to it again, but I will see if I have some time tonight.

Hi here are a couple of shots of a later version of the Harlot.
Note different PSU, and MORE function.
