Members hosebeast Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 just got an fz-7 and i'd like to change the enclosure to something like the MXR enclosures. is this possible, or are there issues with switches and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SharkMinusBear Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think you'd have to rewire/solder the switch for a true bypass switch. Also make sure the enclosure size will fit the circuitboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Put it in a paper bag, must true bypass it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRBain Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'd hope you can? I'd have thought that the pots and switch won't be mounted to the main board as on a lot of Behringers, so if you can stick a TB switch in there and presumably desolder the jacks (I assume that this would be necessary?), you should be good to go. Let us know how you get on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hosebeast Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 i have no idea how to do any of this, i was actually hoping that someone on here did that sort of stuff for hire maybe. any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SunofNothing Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 here's the ph5 board. I assume it's the same size. I took it out to circuit bend (nothing yet, but i did pick up some radio stations. http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq263/hardcorehansolo/100_1248.jpg i dont think you'll get into an mxr box.

Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Took a DE7 apart once. It's a puzzle box. Theres 5-6 boards with only connected by gravity and the enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as well...I have a smashbox I screw around with every now and then, and I'm not a huge fan of the switch. Oh and awesome usernameHi-five.

Members hosebeast Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 it doesn't have to be an exact MXR size box, just something similar, you know? does anyone offer these types of services on this board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shaun126 Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 You can find someone to do it probably, but you wont want to pay for how much it will cost. (more than the actual pedal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hosebeast Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 thats {censored}ing dumb. god damn it, no pedal should cost more than like, $100. honestly, those moogerfrooger {censored}s are the biggest {censored}ing ripoff in the world "here, you can have this thing that might cost us like $24 dollars, tops, to produce, for about $600. have fun, sucker." so {censored}ing dumb.

Members hosebeast Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 yeah, that was kind of irrelevant to my original post. it's jut reallllllly {censored}ing annoying to want something so bad, and to know that yr being charged wayyyyyyy too much for it. i wish i knew anything about electronics. i would make high end pedals and sell them for the exact amount of money it costs to manufacture them. i've seen enclosures, knobs, the boards for these things, cheap as {censored}. these companies really need to knock it the {censored} off.

Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 This is kinda false info. I don't know what's exactly going on in the moogs stuff, but I can tell you most of it is rather unique to the moog stuff and doesn't sound like a lot of other stuff, which is part of what you are paying for. The idea and the time it took to come up with the pedal. I can also tell you that you can't build a Delux Electric Mistress for less then the amount it would take to buy one. you would be in the red in no time if you only charged what it took to manufacture them.

So you know nothing about electronics but you're absolutely convinced that pedals can be made cheaply? I would say you should talk to some of the pedal builders around here and then maybe some quiet time on the couch to keep things in perspective.

Since the only MF that cost $600 is the delay, im just going to say that there more than $24 just in BDD chips in that damn delay. And you have to factor in labor.
