    Sorry for asking but I don’t suppose there’s any way you’d consider taking gut shots of the Solid State Reverb & Echo 600 for me would you? Been looking for photos for years.

    Either way, great collection :)

    No problem :)

    I am sure and the link does confirm what i’m saying too “So the filter matrix just stops the oscillation, and uses the range knob to set a static delay amount.” The LFO is completely disconnected in the filter matrix modes of all the models and the range pot is then reconnected so as to provide a voltage/current control for the VCO/Clock to manually adjust the delay time so it’s not just sweeping incredibly slowly, it’s fixed.

    My bad for not reading the volume drop link, I saw Wet/Dry mix and had assumed it was the popular one suggesting to add a resistor to the back of the board which does affect the Wet/Dry mix and isn’t recommended.

    I guess so too.
    Also look at this post for a sound comparison of the different Electric Mistress pedals!

    http://www.areyouexperiment.wordpress.com

    Is that your page? There is quite a bit of incorrect info on that page.

    For a start, EHX was closed from around ’85 onwards due to union pressure and the mistress didn’t go back in to production even as a prototype until Sovtek started up which was post ’89.

    The filter matrix completely disables the LFO, it’s not sweeping at all and the flange is instead voltage controlled.

    The known mod for the volume drop shouldn’t be suggested, changing the wet/dry mix affects the notches and leads to a less than optimal sound.

    The Trim adjustments need more background, the trim affected when you “Then set it in the middle of the two cutout points” sets the bias, yes it can be done by ear (although a tech with a scope will do a better job) but the best way to set it is the point where the least distortion occurs rather than an arbitrary point as each chip will have a slightly different bias point.

    Etc.

    The EH Man or Howard Davis would be your go to guys on the forum.

    Where are you located? Will help finding someone who can fix it.

    Could you post a gut shot? While I wouldn’t usually advise adjusting from factory set up, perhaps something can be done to tweak it once which trim is which is worked out.

    Which the big box re-issues also used so you don’t have to buy vintage.

    How do you power it? If it’s a daisy chain that’s your issue.

    Hi,

    What was it meant for ?… fun, I guess :)

    Yikes! Yeah tracing that without it in hand is probably a fools errand.

    Thanks for the photos though :) interesting to see regardless.

    A Julia Truchess design I suspect, never even heard of it though! Nice little collectors piece.

    I don’t suppose there’s any chance of some good gut shots of both sides of the board? Would love to draw up a schematic for posterities sake.

    My main question I guess though… is what the hell was it meant for :D

    If it delays, the 3005 & 4047 are fine.

    As EH Man said, nature of the beast that it whines, no companding circuitry and not that great low pass filtering. You can try adjust the high pass trim to get rid of it.

    I think what you have might just be normal behaviour, if you don’t want whine you should probably look to a Deluxe Memory Man.

    Sorry I haven’t e-mailed back, away from home but quick answer;
    1)Post BBD Gain
    2)Post BBD Gain
    3)Bias
    4)Cancel
    5)Bias

    The photo is too small to trace which Gain & Bias is for which BBD though.

    Replied to your message, hopefully that works this time.
