I have a vintage Micro Synthesizer and a vintage Bass Micro Synthesizer and they both need 10-20 seconds to warm up after I turn the power switch on. After that, they both work fine when turning the effect on and off with the footswitch. I had another vintage Micro Synthesizer and it was the same way too, so I’m guess that maybe they are all like this.

So you’re saying that either row would work the same? It doesn’t match which row it is? Does the direct of the switch make a difference as well?
Thanks.
TarmogoyfMemberJust to double-check. So there are only two washers total, and they are both on the exterior side of the jacks?
TarmogoyfMemberI had the same problem happen with a vintage Frequency Analyzer pedal. It sounded good aside from the gunshot sound whenever I’d turn it on. No idea what was causing the problem though, as I ended up just returning it instead of having it repaired.
TarmogoyfMemberI owned a pedal where Howard had touched up the paint, but it wasn’t an exact match. I wish EHX would post that kind of information online to help out people with scratched up pedals.
TarmogoyfMemberYou can get replacement parts for these pedals online at Small Bear Electronics. I know they sell the whole jack complete with a nut, so they probably sell the nut on it’s own. If you email them and include that picture you posted here, they should be able to help you out.
TarmogoyfMemberYeah. I’ve yet to find a modern EH pedal that sounds anywhere near as good, let alone even comparable, to it’s original vintage counterpart. The newer pedals are a lot smaller and more consistent, but the sound and mojo just isn’t there anymore.

In the future, if you’re going to talk shit, be sure you know wtf you’re even talking about.
Otherwise. . . . .
December 23, 2015 at 6:12 pm in reply to: Why isn’t it possible to recommission old IC’s like the Reticon SAD1024? #121126TarmogoyfMemberSure. There is a big demand within a small community now, but that would change over time with the availability of new SAD1024 chips.
TarmogoyfMemberProbably mid 1990s or later.

TarmogoyfMemberNice article.
You should do one for all the vintage EH pedals.
I had the original V1 Micro Synth, but I ended up selling it for a V2 which sounded better.
TarmogoyfMemberWhy don’t you just put it in a loop and add a cheap $20 boost pedal after it, so when you turn on the loop both the boost and Mistress will go on and off at once. It will also help preserve the switch on the mistress as well.
This way you don’t have to perform any mods which would lower the value of a vintage pedal, and it would probably cost about the same amount. If you ever decide to sell the Mistress you could either keep or sell the boost pedal too.

LOL
