    Reverb installation

    Sorry bout that, It's like someone trumping your Ace in a friendly game! Trust the injuries have healed. Gettin close to another go at reverb installation. Last try bout 6 months ago! Seem to remember that it worked but picked up a lot of extraneous noises. It gave also too much reverb. All I...

    Reverb installation

    OK so life is tricky. Just getting ready to twist wires together again when I had a stroke! This was 11 weeks ago and now can't play the guitar to save my life! Working hard to get right hand fingers moving again and get back to messin with electronics. In the meantime I cant hold a plectrum...

    Wi-Fi

    After bit of experimenting I found that I could purchase a Blurex Long Range Wireless-N Wifi Network Adapter - and this does the job excellently. I now have free wi-fi whenever I need it. The library has no problems with my scheme, I am a library member and am allowed about 200millithingies a...

    Reverb installation

    Am just out of hospital after a five day spell where they removed my spleen. I am very tired and full of aches. It is nice to rest though. Every time I shut my eyes in hospital they would wake me to test my blood pressure remove blood, or perhaps just give me a sleeping pill. I can now slip into...

    Reverb installation

    OK, got round this morning to trying out the circuit you advised. You did not specify which was the Pos line so I took a guess and it didn't work. tried it again with the 100k on its own just cut into the positive line. This worked but not quite well enough so I added another 100k and that...

    O.K. So dont laugh...Drove 40 k to Pukekohe on my birthday to buy some more resistors. Got what I wanted to do the job, drove home and put the packets on the sideboard. That was the last time I saw them! Three days of searching and they still have not turned up. Will have to drive again to town...

    Wi-Fi

    I have moved into a pensioner flat in Waiuku (N.Z.) Just at the bottom of the hill is the public library which has free wi-fi. Every now and then I take the computer into there when I need to do some serious downloading. Very handy! but, I would like to use it from my flat and I am just slightly...

    Will have a look at that one, not sure exatly what you mean but it will probably be clear to me when I start twisting wires together! Thanks

    Reverb installation

    OK back in circulation and nearly ready to start twisting wires together again!. A new problem has surfaced. Sending data via bluetooth from computer to amplifier. OK, it works but the signal is too powerful and the volume control has to be set at lowest setting. This means I have no control...

    Thanks for that. Tried a quick wireup but not a lot of success. May have twisted wrong wires together!. Project shelved for a week or so to allow for house moving. Catch you when all settled. Regards Deigh

    Thanks for that reply but it has confused me. Please accept that I have only a very limited knowledge of electronics and would like more details on how to do that exercise:( Deigh

    Reverb installation

    OK, did a bench wire-up and it worked. Only used one of the amps on the inlet side. NOW.......it is excellent, but a little too much reverb for my needs, how can I reduce the amount of reverb? There is an adjusting screw on the amp but it is purely volume control. Can I do it as simply as...

    Reverb installation

    thanks for that info, I remembered that the connections were shown on the board shortly after sending that E-mail!..OK about voltage which was specified as 12v. will run coax as close to contacts as I can. Looking forward to finishing job, Have had some good breakthroughs recently. Have dumped...

    Reverb installation

    Yes, but now I have lost the information about the 386 unit itself, I need to know which pins do what? and should my input be a screened cable? The plugs I have obtained from the TV set have no coaxial connections and I plan to solder onto the wires already on the plugs rather than trying to...

    Reverb installation

    :oops: What a great idea, but I read it too late. Have just pulled it back in and taken it apart, extracting just the bits I required for joints. Pity, the set was in working order and for quite a while had it in the garage so I could watch 'The Breakfast Show' whilst doing my exercises. Fairly...

    Reverb installation

    Thanks, but your link did not show. Might try that one... In Auckland if there is something you dont want you put it on the sidewalk outside your house and usually someone takes it away. I have put an old tv (old, but still working!) on the driveway but no-one has taken it away yet. I dont like...

    Reverb installation

    LM386 is causing me some headaches. The pins are pretty close together and I need female plugs to fit them. Cant find them on the local market. Anyone know where they are availble in small quantities?

    Reverb installation

    Ok, will work on that....forgot to say that I dont want the reverb input to take over completely the normal input. Reason for this is that when playing rhythm guitar the reverb is not required. It is only when playing lead that the reverb sound is required. So rather that having to incorporate a...
