Time to burn shit up. Grab your iron and solder the wires to the tangs. start with the tip wire (red). Note: a big iron is best here, 25-35 Watts. There is alot of metal to heat and you want to do it quickly... Spend too long with the heat and the insulation of the wires will begin to burn...

Now place the stripped cable up against the connector body and work the shield around so it is on the side of the longest tang: You will have to trim the length of one wire (black) to accomodate the length of the ring tang. Now you can strip the insulation off the signal wires. Remove...

Why bother? Have you seen the price of gas? Have you noticed the price of groceries? Can you say R-E-C-E-S-S-I-O-N? I like patchcords, I use them pretty much everyday. But they always seem to give up the ghost when I need them most. Hey! Ima poet and don't even know it... :D Patchcords cost...

+1 on his suggestion 0.00008% distortion/noise is quite admirable. Even the lowly TL074 would be a significant improvement to the original part though.

Before you start cutting traces check this out. http://www.larsenassociates.com/ariesadapterlist.html Part # 18046 I used to work for that company back in the way back days and don't care to recommend them to anybody for personal reasons but that particular adapter is exactly what you need...

I believe he is dealing with the SIP version. This would be more useful... http://www.capitaladvanced.com/9000ser.htm But again SMT... Between a rock and hard place i think.

SO8 is a surface mount technology package type. I would avoid it unless you have very steady hands and good eyes. That adapter is meant to replace a DIP package - not what you need.

Naiant. $35 and sounds surprisingly good. Would I use it on my wife's electric violin? Sure would. And will be soon.

Thanks mikeh this is all helpful advice. Actually, I kind of took the initiative on this. Really can't think of anybody who has anything good to say about me except my synth repair customers who all love me :D One more thing... How much money should I expect/ask?

Really not sure if this is the best place to post this... It looks like a management company with an artist who is negotiating a label deal wants to interview me as the full time sound man and recording engineer for their artist. :cool: It has been ages since I worked in a real studio and even...

Another interesting mod for distortion pedals is using a chain of series connected diodes to drop the battery voltage to the circuit. Starving these circuits can give a whole range of new tones. Each diode will subtract 0.6V from the battery power. Be sure to use diodes that can handle the...

Now that we have a DIY forum here I'll continue this thread there once I have some extra time...

+1!!! :D It's really nice to see this forum area. pardon my ignorance but what is a bop set? (not a drummer ;))

Yes and remember the transformer. The stock unit makes the mids smeary to my ears.

I attempted to open my AudioFire Console and got an error message. Immediately I thought "Oh God here we go now" :eek: It said that my firmware was out of date and gave the choice of update now or cancel. I clicked update. 15 seconds of progress bars and status messages later it instructed me...

I mainly record vocals and electric violin with my mics. Occasionally I'll run a synthesizer or drum loop through a guitar amp for effects that fit with the music I make. I don't have a great need for a big collection of mics. So the plan I devised is such... To cover my bases I need the...

Sweet, now I can go fix Emmett... :D:D http://teamseagal.blogspot.com/2007/11/charles-bronson-on-simpsons.html

This is sound advice. Better quality capacitors and bypassing electrolytic coupling caps with poly can make a significant difference in perceived sound quality. Also, I recommend rebuilding the power supply. It has been my experience that improving this area has the greatest impact on the...

Since I haven't heard an actual 1176 I'll have to take your word that the clone will sound like the original. Surely it must sound better than plugin emulations I've heard... One of the things that initially gave me pause in deciding on whether to try this is the meter. It is getting so hard...

It sounds like a circuit that is being swamped with DC voltage where there shouldn't be any e.g. a leaky blocking cap for the gain control. I have no idea what is in the DMP as far as circuitry so I'm limited to speculation...
