    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Ah Yes... I remember electronics class where teach made it all so simple!!!! there was a ground, that everything connected to! A positive lead that was always marked with a + sign! and then there was this common negative lead line thing that kind of wound through the wounded cauterizing all the...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    This morning I was stumped on how this puppy is working... I thought... "suppose my father who was a 2nd class electrican on a destroyer in Leyte during WWII might be able to help me sort this out..." and like always, our discussion got a bit heated, and then it occured to me... The Selsun...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    I need a wiring diagram for a fOXX DownMachine bass guitar treadle. I drew my own schematic because the ones I found are not for the down machine but were drawn for other fOXX treadles. you should see my repair thread on this fix... I wanted to start a thread that helps guys find what wire...

    Fog lights installation question

    consider that maybe this machine is not designed for the foglights... it may be what they all a grey import, that is a machine designed for a different country that somehow ended up in the US. Then, with that in mind, assume the implications of adding lights to a system that is not designed...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    This I am calling the 5-way bridge. I used a 4 wiire telephone handset wire, and attached it to pins K, L, M, N , and hard wired a sub miniture push on push off switch to the logical pins on the 6 pin stomp switch, board mount. I installed a 9v jack and wired the negative side to the wrong...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    After looking at the pedal box, and some pictures I found online, that the 9v+ has a mini plug jack for a power adapter that accomodates the 9v+ line and returns a line to what I think is Pin D and the 470ohm resistor before the 1k resistor to the transistor. PRAY TELL, Where do the outs to the...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    I found a schematic for the fOXX Fuzz-Wah-Octave pedal drawn by Phillip Bryant at http://fuzzcentral.tripod.com; And from it, I have deduced that the on/off switch and the 100k wah Log. are probably hooked to gether in series and plug in where the board has the a location for the switch, at...

    Quick note! There is no 5103 TDK on this board. It is called "The fOXX Down Machine"

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Try this impressive piece of web sleuth... This is a very rare piece of musical equiment. (hence the reason I am trusting you pros with it probably) It is actually a Bass guitar Wah Pedal valued at over 200 bucks in working condition... I can't find a schematic for it, so I need someone to...

    That last schematic was full of errors... heres one I traced out (pant pant)

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Yeah I think this is a Wah Pedal, not a waa-waa. One of the things you learn when you go pro is not to call electronic things names.... This is what I have drawn up for you to compare with... some of it doesn't seem to match the schematic... edit: Schematic removed (see below)

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    Question 2- This looks like the WAH half of the Schematic, so it may not be a FUZZ-WAH, just a WAH with maybe volume. There is a brown waxed inductor with what I think are special resistors on the board..1%, 24ohm-1% I think. Are these special caps or 1% resistors ? cause they are not on the...

    Restoring a FOXX FUZZ-WAH

    During the creation of my new lap steel, I discovered a previous project I didn't get finished for various reasons... What I am about to embark on is a complete restoration of the original FOXX FUZZ WAH guitar accessory pedal.(while putting a new lap steel together) It has one of those...

    then everyone chickened out... I think residual voltages are cool, they remind me of my humilities....

    Why my meter has a beeper?

    I am attempting to build a portable electric lap steel guitar, and I found a nice set of electronics out of a hybrid battery/AC boom box. One of the speakers is nice and small, and will be perfect for my portable guitar. I tested it with my VOM which I had accidentally put on "BEEPER" or...

    Electric Guitar Amp Circuit Check

    Passive - requiring outside influence to operate Active - having its own power source ie.(as in) This particular transducer came out of a guitar that had no internal battery, and got all of its power from the input to it. eg.(as was) A guitar that has a 9v battery in it has active circuitry.

    Motorcycle Turn Signal project

    If the bike is already wired for LEDs, make sure the diodes are the right ones for the LEDS, but if its wired to standard bulbs, you will need resistors made for the LEDS. What you are considering is done with more relays. Factory bike electronics are very touchy, even a weak resistor can burn...

    Ice Maker Repair

    You should use that fuse exactly... those specs exactly. and you should also go to radio shack and get a set of crimpons and some heat shrink tubing to put it all in. Don't forget to put the shrink tubing on the wire before you do the repair, or you will have to redo the entire repair...

    Electric Guitar Amp Circuit Check

    Wow thanks audiogu.... but the sytem is still the system ain't it? I mean dropping a 9v battery into a passive driver just ain't much of a good idea? The point being that I knew what kind of guitar this pickup came out of, but only accidentally found that this particular pickup is passive...
