repair ver1.0 FET DI (pretty sure it's just one poorly soldered capacitor)construct ver 2.1/2.1b FET DIs (same schematic as above except it's now fitted with a 24V regulator because I'm not too wild about the amount of ripple I think may be coming off of my wall wart power supply and the jack is now...

that damned fly wrote:worth it. get it.Got it. The switches seem really flimsy, and it looks like there was originally a lamp or something in place of a 3mm LED to indicate when its powered up. I was a bit surprised that it doesn't have a 3 prong plug, so I'm going to add an IEC socket. I'm going to...

This is exactly the kind of advice I expected to find here. I had never heard of normalling before this thread, but it turned out that I happened to have a Switchcraft 112AX lying around, so I hooked it up the way the internet told me to and now I don't have to suffer volume loss on the front input....

It worked exactly as planned.

edit: By the way, I may have mentioned this before, but the insulation on the power cord, at least on my unit, was incredibly flaky, so if you're doing any work inside, it would probably be a good idea to replace it lest you inadvertently create a short or something.

you know, although i was considering making my own rack ts-50b, this thing probably looks a helluva lot better and would set me back maybe just a bit more money. consider me interested (but still kinda broke).

yeah http://demo.physics.uiuc.edu/LectDemo/descript/238/cover.jpg pretty handy with your right hand, aren't you? i did that experiment last spring, and you're actually looking at an electron ring. because electrons are charged particles, we use the Lorentz force law [F = q(E + v x B)] to find out h...

the lettering for "overdrive special by dumble" is hideous, but on the whole, i suppose it's a fairly aesthetically pleasing head.
