Dunlop - TS-1 Tremolo - intensity problem

Hi everybody,

I have a Dunlop TS-1 tremolo pan, stil with plastic knobs.

It's working fine except the intensity is stuck to the max.

it is NOT the pot.

Someone knows the issue ?

Anyone has schematic for this ?

Thank you so much

this unit is probably identical to the MXR M-159 Tremolo which was request about 5 years ago. You will have to open the unit up to fix whatever small problem this is. Would be great if you can take some pictures of both sides of the pcb.

Yes it should not be very different. The MXR is 18V I think and this is 9V, but it should be the same circuitry.

I'll post some pics

top of the PCB, intensity knob is on the left, above left soket

I had the same problem. TP1 sets the minimum intensity depth

Did this issue get solved? I have the same problem, but TP1 doesn't seem to change anything. The voltage going into the LED does change with intensity knob and TP1 adjustments, but the effect remains the same.
