Yes, the wire order doesn`t matter.
But: be aware that the power jack needs to be ISOLATED from the chassis!
The 12V AC power jack is the same for all countries.
Those are also known as DIN loudspeaker sockets.
Better attach such a DIN-plug to your power-supply!April 20, 2013 at 4:44 am in reply to: HELP! Changed Pot on Small Stone, now I have just Ground Hum! #118950puretubeMemberHow about mounting the jacks back into the box, so that all ground-connections indeed do get connected?
puretubeMemberCONGRATULATIONS !!!
puretubeMemberConfirming all 3 are the correct ones…
the HotRox pic, if you look closer at the upper of the (mirrored) plug-images
shows that it indeed has a flat and a round pin…Those 2-pole “DIN” plugs/jacks were/are being used for speaker-connections in HiFi-equipment
and car-radios in Germany since the `60s…
They belong to the “DIN”-family of connectors that also provides the standard
“MIDI” connectors…http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN-Stecker
E-H uses those plugs to prevent the user from plugging in
a DC supply by accident…March 17, 2012 at 6:55 pm in reply to: New Pedal info leaked: Superego, Tone Tattoo, Crying Tone, Volume, Talking, Expression, & Pan, #117134puretubeMemberhttp://www.themadape.com/Electro_Harmonix_Tone_Tattoo_Multi_Effects_Pedal_p/ehx-tonetattoo.htm

EDIT: arghhh – so I didn`t need to open it up, make pix, and upload`em?
puretubeMemberThose ICs will not help overcoming the (perceived!) volume-drop,
but of course you can inquire @ http://www.burrbrown.info/
whether they provide any chips that meet the specifications
of the ones you found in your E-H PULSAR.puretubeMemberHere`s your direct link:

puretubeMemberI`m not so sure whether that stem can be screwed out…
but surely the problem is a mechanical one.
If someone is going to take the PCB out of the box anyway,
it is better to replace the complete switch with an equivalent one.
“Playing” around with the built-in switch might damege the copper-traces on the board.
Too much strain on the board is not good!(A verstile technician could also put the switch into the OFF-position,
and install a screwable ON/OFF/ON-switch somewhere else in the chassis,
and solder that new one with flexible wires to the relevant PCB-pads…)July 23, 2010 at 7:30 pm in reply to: Can cable length affect the response of an expression pedal? (H.O.G. content) #110453puretubeMemberHi Gustavo:
the M-Audio exp-pedal has a linear pot (i.e. the rotating variable resistor that is being turned
when you rock the footpedal forth and back)
which means that its resistance and hence the control-voltage (CV) increases linearly from zero to maximum according to the travel (rotation) of the pedal.
This is good most of the time for CV Expression-pedal inputs.The Boss pedal is a volume-pedal which has a logarithmic pot
which means that when it is used for varying the CV, it will vary its resistance (and hence the CV) very very slowly in the beginning of the travel, and then very fast towards the end.
This is good for audio-signal Volume-controlling.Now, depending on how the Tip, Ring, and Sleeve of the TRS-cable are wired,
this can mean that the CV seems to “jump” from min to max or vice versa
either near the toe-down or the heel-down position of the volume-pedal.The resistance-curve of a pot (linear or logarithmic) is called “taper”,
while the logarithmic taper is often also called “audio”. -
