Members SailorJerry Posted August 24, 2010 Members Share Posted August 24, 2010 bypass is fine as TB or buffered. engage the pedal and nada, a very faint dry signal, a fair amount of hiss and no delay. massive volume drop. ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally ANY repair place ought to be able to handle a simple opamp swap. It's a piece of cake - especially if the opamp is socketed. I'm not sure if it is or isn't (Josh would know), but if it is, it's almost something you could do yourself - assuming nothing else got taken out when the opamp went... iow, if it was just a bad part that died, that's one thing... if you applied the wrong power to the unit, you may have blown other components too; in which case, you'll definitely want to send / take it to a tech.

Members SonicVI Posted August 25, 2010 Members Share Posted August 25, 2010 The 616 is all surface mount components, so opamp replacement will not be easy, even for the experienced tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Really? because I mean that would cut your customer base literally in half, maybe even quartered. It's really not all that unusual. Lots of "daisy chain" power supply users have a secondary (or even tertiary) power supplies for "non-standard" pedals that require something other than what our daisy chain can provide. Things like fuzz pedals with positive grounds, pedals that require 12-24V, Line 6 pedals that get noisy when used in multiples on a single daisy chain, AC pedals, etc. often mean you'll need more than just a single One Spot to power your board.

Phil O'Keefe Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 The 616 is all surface mount components, so opamp replacement will not be easy, even for the experienced tech. I did not know that. I knew the Omicrons were all surface mount, but I didn't know the 616 was too. Well that certainly is a bummer in terms of DIY repairs. I would send it back to Josh then. My eyes aren't up to working with SMD's. Getting older sux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SailorJerry Posted August 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2010 it's an E600, not the 616. josh says it's a 5min job so now i just need to find the opamp and a repair guy to do it. it should have been powered fine. it hasn't changed it's power source in about 2 years until it blew. that said, i do want isolated outputs instead of this fueltank : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
