Looks like four knobs and two 3 way toggles. *wondering what the switches do*
April 3, 2009 at 10:40 pm in reply to: HOLY GRAIL BOUGHT FROM USA – POWER SUPPLY INFO FOR AUSTRALIA NEEDED! #95221Ned FlandersModeratorIf you buy EH pedals in Australia they come with the right adapter. I buy all my effects from the US and then I buy UK adapters which are the same voltage as Australian ones and then I find locally a socket adapter for it. Unless I can find the right Australian adapter here of course. Alot of EH effects will take the standard Boss adapters but the 24v effects wont obviously.
buyanalogman.com sells UK EH adapters.Ned FlandersModerator3PDT’s have a little metal rocker inside that switches back and forth, always in contact with the middle lug on either pole.
A 3PDT is simply 3 SPDT switches in a row, each independent of one another.
Click it one way and the top lugs touch the middle lugs, switch it the other and the bottom lugs touch the middle lugs.To see this for yourself get a digital multi meter.
Ned FlandersModeratorI’ve never found a solid state amp that sounds as nice as a tube amp, never, and I’ve tried a lot of amps.
Guitars just sound better thru the majority of tube amps IMO.
I like solid state pedals via a tube amp, tube pedals via a tube amp is overkill IMO, a tube pedal via a solid state amp is fine though.
About the best solid state amp I’ve ever heard is the sunn beta lead, still not my cup of tea but its pretty decent.Ned FlandersModeratorIts a digital pedal so it has to do with loading information into the pedal from a computer, or something like that.
Ned FlandersModeratorYou should hope its an IC model, they sound real cool and are becoming more and more scarce on ebay. There’s still a few around obviously but people are keeping them because they are realizing they are hidden gems.
If its not the IC model it will be the 3034 transistor model which is a super cool sounding muff too, i have one of each and its hard to pick a favorite to be honest.
So…either way, you have a winner.Simon, you’ll want to true bypass it, buy a DPDT and I’ll help you do it. The stock bypass is pretty crappy IMO, I TB’d all my vintage muffs.
Ned FlandersModeratorWhere’d you find the knobs?
Ned FlandersModeratorCool, glad one of my posts made useful!
Ned FlandersModeratorYes, if you don’t wire it like I showed its not right.
Unless of course you soldered the two red wires (red in my diagram) to the middle lug and the two blue wires (blue in my diagram) to the top lug, it makes no difference.
So long as both colored wires are on the same lug its fine.Ned FlandersModeratorYou used to be able to buy the knobs but the stores sold out long ago, you wont find either today.
Ned FlandersModeratorI wouldnt wire a switch like that, it doesnt have grounded input which can result in oscillation and noise coming through.
Wire it like the switch in the bottom left corner of this diagram.

Ned FlandersModeratorBuy a Digital Multi Meter for about 10 bucks and you will be able to answer all these questions and more. Its the simplest solution dude!
Ned FlandersModeratorWithout testing the pots with a DMM and completely rewiring it i dont know what to tell you dude!
Ned FlandersModeratorNo of course not, it sounds like the volume pot is dodgy!
You can buy exact replacements here: http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=159 they are expensive and not very good quality pots anyways but the knobs you have will fit these pots. -
