figured i'd share this link, as they are positively awesome,

just look at the prices of the ac127 and ac128 germanium transistors.

http://www.bardwells.co.uk

the pots are trimpots, and afaik they are directly soldered to the pcb, same with the footswitches.

so unless you want to desolder from the fiddly board i suggest you just pull the knobs off the trimpots (they just come out) and use your fingertip to turn them, its not perfect, but after snapping off every single knob on every single danelectro pedal i own it has to be done

i posted the exact same thing a couple of years ago...

brasso and floorwax = perfect glossy neck.

heres the schematic and pcb

i've near enough finished building it [thus making my website a lie] but this thought came to me, and i figured i'd fit it in.

my plan for the trimpots would be to have them surface mounted...so that you can alter settings without opening the case

cheers for the replies so far

edit: - duh, a link might help http://www.tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=73

i've just been trying to draw a diagram of it to explain to a friend and got completely lost....i'm halfway there but cant work out how to pull it off

will a DPDT switch work for this?

im thinking positions 1&2 for the 'preset' trimpots, then position 3 for the main pot....yet i cant figure out how to fit this idea into a circuit.

anyone give me any pointers?

cheers,

Dan.

heyo - a rare and random post from me,

i was just thinking, is it possible to use a switch in replacement of a pot on an effect pedal?

but with each position of the switch having a minipot [the real name escapes me at the moment] essentially enabling you to ''save'' knob positions and go back to them using a switch rather than having the memorise where to move knobs to to get the sound you want?

hopefully someone can make some sense out of that.

cheers,

Dan

google has it, took me less time than it took you to write that post.

is it just me, or does that look like a botched refinish?

when i saw the lower horn, it just reminded me of my yamaha sgv

how about this five minute job?

the black keys is a great band that not too many people know about, well over here in australia they dont, dunno about america considering that is where they are from.

blanche and the dirtbombs are both pretty much unknown

surely that wiring (the battery cut off when the lead is not present) is exactly the same as a stompbox? in which case its really not that difficult

is that a clock i see?

edit: btw, i only ask that because im interested in what you've done to stop the ticking sound coming through the pickups. of course if its not a clock then ignore me
