Baking pedals

[Nickosaurus]

Yep no continuity. Will double check when im home again but 90% there wasn't.

Will take pics asap. Probably tomorrow some time

Slow gear is emulated in the Line6 M5.
Pedal is true bypass until engaged.
Save youself the heart ache.

Then the only challenge is explaining all to the minister of war and finance.

Building is a major part of the fun isn't that why we are here

[Swinging Beef]

Oh, I know.

But slow gear is really one of those pedals you think you want for 10 years, get, and then never use.

Ain't no heartache here mate. I love learning new things and this is just another journey.

[Nickosaurus]

Okay here we go:

9V jack

Jack w/ resistor

Connection to pot (the res isn't touching the housing)

Toggle


(cont)

[Nickosaurus]

Re-wired footswitch (routed row 3 lug 3 around the switch instead of through the other lugs)

The pot (tricky to solder)

Everything together:


Even after rewiring the majority of this pedal I'm still getting a (i'm assuming) grounding issue somewhere.

[WeirdBits]

As far as I can see (it's tough with all the green), unless there's a cold joint somewhere then the bypass should work. The outboard wires shouldn't affect the bypass, so I don't know what's happening. Are you sure the footswitch isn't faulty?

If you still can't get it sorted... go back to basics. Just wire the in/out jacks and the footswitch, get that working with the bypass, then start adding the other sections etc.

[Nickosaurus]

Yeah unless 2 switches in a row are faulty it should be ok.. this was a new switch I wired in. Any way to ID a cold joint?

I posted it somewhere else and they hadnt seen this bypass switching before.. the wiring makes sense to me but im pretty green (heh)

[keloooe]

Needs more green wire...
Actually, what you should do is paint the inside of the enclosure black and use black wires, turning an easy build into an absolute nightmare!
