Members JDandCoke Posted January 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Originally posted by ChitownTerror You should see what cold temperatures do to analog delays! so it does effect my semaphore?i didnt notice any significant differences with my other pedals...are there any ways round this???

Members ZachOmega Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Most (if not all) semiconductor devices are affected by temperature. Some to differing degrees (no pun intended). For example, Germanium devices are noted as being highly temperature dependent. Even touching a germanium transistor with your fingers while measuring it will cause the readings to go all over the place. Silicon devices are less temperature sensitive, but still suffer from changes in temperature if they are at extremes. My suggestion to you is to keep your pedals at a normal room temperature. It doesn't do the electrolytic components any good to be frozen either. -Zach Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZachOmega Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 haha...Seems like everything is marketable anymore...I'd just be interested to see what that did to the life of all of the electrolytic components as well as what it'd do to any germanium parts...Thermal runaway comes to mind. However, that'd all be entirely dependent on how hot the pedal actually got.If there was a way to keep the pedal running at a steady 70 degrees or something...that'd actually be kind of cool...Don't know that I'd buy it, but at least you'd know there was no likelihood of wrecking your gear.-Zach OmegaOriginally posted by gil1 Kidding?
