Line 6 DL-4/MM-4/FM-4/DM-4/AM-4

Thought this might help for all those capable of soldering SMD stuff. You can at least modify the analog section, and know what part does what now.
This covers several of the Line 6 digital pedals.

A normal "Thank you" wouldn't do. That is a huge
THANK YOU
this one has been on my wish list for quite some time!

Sorry, I've been sitting on this for a while, hahah. I forgot I had it. I got it from a friend of a friend.Dirk_Hendrik wrote:A normal "Thank you" wouldn't do. That is a huge

I was very surprised it hadn't been posted anywhere else, actually haha.

I cannot remember any Line6 related copyright whining. At the other hand, that seems to be EHX-only related and other than that only seems to apply to this forum. Schems of new EXH stuff have been on the music electronics forum for months without any action. And the schem of their signal pad has been on my site for over a year without complaints.azrael wrote:Hm, can't seem to edit 2 minute old posts anymore...but since this is a schematic set for repairs, do we have to redraw them? If so, not it!
So, I just repeat,
THANK YOU
till others start to recognize the value of this contribution.
This. Is. Awesome.
THX A LOT!

Yesterday I rebooted an MM4 with the simple operation of reset, only now I see this thread. Thanks anyway, it will be useful sooner or later.

Why did the microcontroller need a reset?

He showed no sign of life, the mysteries of the faith or the sixth line. More importantly who has not initiated the 'self-destruction.
I own a original Line6 DL4 but it died on me...
I think (or hope) there is something going wrong the power and trying to figure out what it is.
When i measure i see there is voltage on the ground points, so it seems something is leaking..
Does anybody know what could be the problem? I've uploaded a graphic of my measurements...

Really? Nobody?

Did you do these tests using a AC adapter or a battery power?
Cause, if you are using the 9VAC adapter, you have just removed the main filter capacitor basically supplying the pedal with AC voltage while measuring the DC voltage. Of course, it doesn't mean you should switch the meter to AC and take the measurements again. Put back or replace the 1000µ cap first and check the DC voltages.

I suspect your "ground" is somewhat oddly measured if you manage to find 5.62 volts there. Or: What is the reference to what you are measuring?
@pz
We tested with the DC battery feed. Thats why I thought we could safely eliminate the 1000u cap. to test.
Ground reference was the minus pole on the battery.

Thanks!
The only way to get results like the ones you have are if the switching contact in the power supply connector doesn't make proper contact. Find a real ground point and measure again. You should either find the expected voltage, nothing, or pure crap. But measuring 5.something volts on a ground connection while measuring w.r.t. ground... naah

No. The 80C32 control microprocessor and its software creates effects using the DSP. It looks at the analogue-to-digital converter IC U6 regularly; this IC has inputs from the pots and from a resistor network connected to the push switches. It also watches the 16-step rotary encoder E1 (looks like a pot, usually selects the model). When something changes, the programme in the 80C32 will change something accordingly. There is no way you can retrigger the loop as it's not based on counters. What you could do is add another switch and resistor to the resistor network and hack the programme code to carry out that action based on the extra control input. Reverse engineering the code to work out how to do that could take some time.notnews32 wrote:Specifically regarding the loop retriggering regardless of where in the loop you are, that feature has to be software- based? I'm not very familiar with the more complex ICs like the CMOS 4XXX and such, but I imagined that a pulse of electrons into a pin of a certain IC would be able to reset the loop playback to the beginning and override whatever is playing at the time.Dirk_Hendrik wrote:The answer is simple.
