    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    I used this schematic to decifer the wiring to the various controls. I maybe made a few mistakes? Is there any way to be sure of the circuits, before I power it and maybe fry something?

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    With this wiring, and a 2vpp tracer from my scope, I get a great volume change with the pedal. I am not getting any WAH. I have traced the circuit so much I am having dreams about it. What am I doing wrong?

    I don't believe I've gotten this far.... I really think in a few years it might work if I keep plugging things in here and there....

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Using a fOXX fuzzwah schematic, I attached the 9v- to the stem of the output jack. I attached the 9v+ to Pin E on the board. I powered the circuit with 2vpp at the 9v jack + terminal and traced the circuit with my scope. With the switch off, I am getting a +1.25v/-1.55vpp square wave that I...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Mr. Sir Edd posted something that bothered me. Assuming a DPDT switch was used as the stomp switch in this machine could cause problems because if it was a DPST then the pins on the diagram he provided of the switch, would bridge B-E, and instead of isolating those pins B to the pins A and C...

    Question on schematic reading

    Identifying a switch on a schematic is fairly easy, is it easy to tell what the switch does? I am really finding this difficult for some reason. A 6 pin switch can simply turn on two of the pins. or it might turn on or off just one pin, or it might ground some of them, ot it might isolate a...

    Question on schematic reading

    A schematic diagram....Any schematic... is it on or off? Let's say I'm looking at a schematic with a switch on it... is the switch on or off?

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    I have to ask you intellectuals.... If I don't know what kind of push button switch was installed here, what kind of switch should I use? I am attempting to wire a subminiture switch inplace of the original, but I don't know how the original switch operated, if it was simply a ground on/off,-...

    1967 sears am/fm phonograph; only tweeter speakers work not 12"

    ypu can usually find the schematics and stuff for those old sears/ so do a search online and see if you can find the right model/.? take it to an electronics shop.

    Need Help Repairing Amplifier with Possible Corrosion

    just a guess... when you hook it up, make sure you check the wire color from the amp and trace each wire color, its easy to get excited and hook the wrong wires up to the wrong place.

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Thanks Bob...!!:) Now the reason I am still a noob over this! First, none of you knew this was actually a Regal RE23 Do-Wah-Diddy rather than a Down Machine. The DoWaDiddy, was also made by fOXX, but sold in the guise of a new company named Regal. And that would account for the extra holes...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    In my schematic I didn't wire the switch right...... Ah ha..!!! I couldn't find a 6 pin switch like the one that was installed, so I am using a sub miniature 6 pin push on switch. The subminitures don't wire the same as the original switch that was on the board, so I have to work this out...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    A word of note to the viewer of my schemtic of this board....(JR4 fOXX Down Machine) There are 6 gray circles at the top of the schematic, this is the original location of a noteworthy component...one of the first SMD switches that were ever used commercially. It was a push button on/off...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Man you are an arduino fan aren't you! Back in the day, when ISA ruled and headphones were a special mindset, there were these things on all the boards called "PINS". They were there so that you could connect different components like power sources, and switches, or special devices like amps...

    Help with a good relay for well pump switch

    Little problem with that idea. the switch is connected to a pressure sensitive switch that is installed in a tank that the switch sits on. without the pressure from the tank, the switch doesn't know when to turn on and shut off. What you need is a wireless remote, or a pressure sensor, which...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Not my point. A wiring diagram is a completely different set of documents than a schematic. It would be helpful to any student, to have some kind of rule of thumb, when they run into a board with a schematic, but no wiring diagram to hook it up.... what would you do? junk it and start over from...
