The EH ManModerator
First thing to check: use a wire and short the 2 points on the pic below together (with the unit turned on). It should make a noise. By doing this you’re essentially pushing a key down. It doesn’t really matter which resistor in the row you short it to.
This is also how you can hook up an external keyboard.The EH ManModeratorQuote:My muff’s switch broke as I was modding it and now I can’t seem to find a replacment. Anyone know where these or similar ones are sold??If you’re talking about the old-style big Russian switches they’re available here:
The EH ManModeratorQuote:i dont see anything loose or broken, i was really careful with it.Since you did this on my advice, I’m going to allow you to ship it to me for a free repair. I’ll PM you the shipping address.
The EH ManModeratorQuote:well great, haha. so i opened it up, and literally did nothing but unscrew the circuit board, blow that out with a duster, and pull off the keyboard part and dust that. put it back together and now it wont make any noise at all. hmm.Make sure you didn’t break any of the wires to the keyboard.
The EH ManModeratorThat’s a great video that really shows the range of sounds available.
I saw one on ebay a few years ago that someone had interfaced to a real keyboard.The EH ManModeratorQuote:what did the guitar input do? that sounds appealing.You know, I don’t think I’ve ever tried it. Guess I’ll have to now.
Quote:im curious about the dude on ebay who painted his pink and made a new “keyboard” for it, which he said made his work better. this one works pretty well, but theres definatly a wonky spot on one key.The keys are kind of wonky anyway. If you feel up to it, you can remove the circuit board under the key foil, clean the board and foil and reassemble it. Not really a big job to do but it may make it work better. If any dirt gets between the foil and the circuit board it interferes with the triggering.
Hadn’t seen the pink one.The EH ManModeratorThere’s a rarer version of the Mini Synthesizer that has a built-in delay, a guitar input and 2 outputs: regular and echo. The neatest feature is a Glide bar on the keyboard, right above the keys. They don’t show up very often. I’ve only seen a 1 or 2 in the last few years.
I’ll get some pics of mine soon and put them in an article on my site.The EH ManModeratorQuote:Well, I followed your advice and plugged the adapter into the wall with nothing hanging off it, and it stayed cool. I also tried a BOSS adapter (9V 200mA) with the pedal and this one also got warm, but not as much. So do I have a bad pedal ?, drawing too much juice maybe ?….if so what do I do ?….return to where I bought it, or deal with EH directly ?………I must add that the pedal works great…..If the store where you bought it has another, see if they’ll swap w/ you. Otherwise you may have to send it in for a warranty repair.
The EH ManModeratorQuote:Hello, I just bought a Micro POG and the adapter it came with gets hot after a few minutes and it smells like something burning. Is this normal, or did I get a bad adapter.I would try another adapter if possible and see if the problem reoccurs. If not, the adapter was bad. If so, the pedal has a problem.
You might also try plugging in the adapter w/o anything attached to it and see if it still gets hot.The EH ManModeratorhttp://electroharmonix.ronsound.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=45
The fabulous 64 Second Digital Looping Recorder!
The EH ManModeratorIn the original BMP, the Tone Bypass switch replaced all the tone circuitry with a 100K resistor.
The EH ManModeratorThat’s a standard warning many manufacturers use. As long as the power supply has the correct voltage, polarity, and can supply the needed current there should be no problem. The only problem might be from noise if using a cheap AC adapter.
The EH ManModeratorPretty much the same as the old Black Finger. The schematic I have for it IS exactly the same as the Black Finger.
The EH ManModeratorQuote:It’s got a Celestion Seventy 80, not as good as them higher-range Celestions, but I wouldn’t call it cheap either. And I don’t plan on using the octave multi with blend all the way up and on low notes, so I guess it’s gonna be fine.
Thx
Rock on and stuff!
The EH ManModeratorUnless you’ve got some really cheap speakers that can’t handle the low frequencies, I wouldn’t worry about it. You’ll be fine.
