Members Big Pimpin' T Posted July 4, 2011 Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 I was unsoldering the pots for a rehousing project, my hand slipped and the pot came out of the PC board too quickly and ripped one of its traces along with it. I loved that pedal, I just wanted a more convenient enclosure with the knobs on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reaganomics! Posted July 4, 2011 Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 try to solder a piece of wire or something as a jumper between the components! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Big Pimpin' T Posted July 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 The trace is from the center lug of the gain pot to a resistor, which is just too f'in small to even hope to solder to. There's not even room on the leg of the resistor, and it doesn't come through on the back side of the PCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Orbis_Mortis Posted July 4, 2011 Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 Just call Paul C. and get a Timmy. It's only $129, which is cheap for such a high quality of a pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THAT4301 Posted July 5, 2011 Members Share Posted July 5, 2011 You'd be surprised what you can solder to if you put your mind to it son You can solder to the IC if that's easier, all that will do is bypass the "minimum gain" limitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my TOD as a "demo" to buy a Timmy. I ordered one from Paul the next week, and I've got a Tim on order now. Paul is the Tony Bennett of pedals....such a cool and honest dude.

It's only $129, which is cheap for such a high quality of a pedal It's definitely on the "want" list, I'm just waiting to have the available funds. There isn't a doubt in my mind that there will be a Timmy on my board eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get continuity from the end of the cable I soldered in and the opposite leg of the resistor. I'll finish it up tomorrow night and hope for the best.

Members jcksn1234 Posted July 5, 2011 Members Share Posted July 5, 2011 You'd be surprised what you can solder to if you put your mind to it son this! use an exacto to scrape away to get at the trace line. i pulled up a pad on my blue box with modding. i fixed it an i felt proud of myself. let me know how it went.

Members neoflox Posted July 5, 2011 Members Share Posted July 5, 2011 Here's a suggestion: if the spot between the tiny resistor (SMD?) and the pot is too small, cut the trace on the on the other side of the resistor, measure its value and find a different spot to jumper the SMD and cut traces with a normal resistors. Post a good picture of the spot for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members neoflox Posted July 5, 2011 Members Share Posted July 5, 2011 Are we talking about R9? If you can solder detailed, attach a wire to one side of the resistor (red arrow) or with the method described above, a resistor at the yellow arrow. Should work.

Members Big Pimpin' T Posted July 5, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thanks neo that's exactly what I did yesterday. I soldered a jumper to where you have the red arrow. I've got continuity, so the contact seems ok. I'll finish putting the pedal together tonight and hope it all worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
