Members missing_dave Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 hey everyone! new here, big fan. anyway im rehousing a tube screamer in a new enclosure and had a few questions:the DC jack on the original is soldered on the pc board? im adding a DC jack bezel if i unsolder the original what wire goes where? its not like an led and i cant risk trail and error with live power? looking for some wiring for a dpt switch as well...specific to this project (as there are tones online) what two lugs on the new switch(fulltone 9 lug) do the original two wires go to?thanks for reading ! BTW if anyone is getting into this stuff or modding, or your ts9 wont turn on? etc. drop me email.. ive become pretty invloved with them and maybe can save you some time i had to spend:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ts9cloner Posted February 7, 2007 Members Share Posted February 7, 2007 i just built a ts9 copy, il take some pics and draw up a wiring diagram for the switch and power when i get home from work- do you have a dpdt or 3pdt switch, ie is there 9 pins on it or 6?

Members missing_dave Posted February 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2007 hey thanks..its a nine pin but i dont really want or need true bypass..are you taking the original tube screamer and putting it in a new home? or are you working on an aftermarket kit? mine is the original rehoused.. thanks for reading ! i got the DC wiring right thefirst try..sometimes you get lucky..haha also is there a enclosure that is the xotic/mxr size that will fit the pcb board? the hammond 125's are a hair to small?? trying to avoid the bigger ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ts9cloner Posted February 7, 2007 Members Share Posted February 7, 2007 not a kit and not an original, i maphode it from scratch, etched the board myself etc heres a 3pdt true bypass with led or bicolour led wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some circuits are roomy enough on their pcb's that you can shave off enough board material to make it fit, but it depends on how close to the edge the circuit traces are. On the TS-9 pcb, there's not much dead space, so it might not work. A 1590BB will give you much more room, but that box is a bit larger... although that bit of extra room could come in handy for other things as well (such as easier input/output jack and battery placement). /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members missing_dave Posted February 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2007 not a kit and not an original, i maphode it from scratch, etched the board myself etc heres a 3pdt true bypass with led or bicolour led wiring nice thanks for the write up.. its very "me proof" and will get it..haha yeah the enclosure issue is atough one..and i , like you looked at shaving off some board, but not much to play with on the ts9.. its to bad cause they almost fit, im actually toying around with the idea of wood! and shielding the inside with copper or the special rf spray, and it would look really nice with an exotic grain of wood?? thanks alot guys !!

Members missing_dave Posted February 14, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2007 let me ask you this ? since the jacks and all are wired up there are only two wires coming from the old tacktile switch i assume open /close so i only need to wire those two right?? just unsolder the old switch and solder them to what two poles on the 9 pin???? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ts9cloner Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 andreas has covered that method i think, i prefer to do true bypass, but if you want it to be completely vintage/original, i cant help much, not seen in the flesh the guts of the ts9, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
