Lovely instrument with some mods, just have to make room for a few other things!
The tube is a bog standard 12AX7. Its likely the optocoupler, aka "roach", which is a little light bulb and a light dependent resistor in one package. The bulb can fail, as bulbs do, but modern replacements with LEDs are available or can be home-rolled in some cases.cakes wrote: Mon Jan 15, 2024 3:56 am The trem section does not work, which is fairly typical. From what I understand, that has to do with it's design and the tube required for it.
Yes, exactly! The cost wasn't worth it, since I had 2 Tremolo pedals.Dr Tony Balls wrote: Mon Jan 15, 2024 8:52 amThe tube is a bog standard 12AX7.
