Only thing I missed was getting an ID on what kind of chips were in the E-H. I'm glad Chris happened to be in town and that you guys checked out the pedals with my Champ instead of doing it later at your place. many thanks for hosting such a lovely shindig! and for the use of the Saga y Champ.

Members Euthymia Posted June 13, 2005 Members Share Posted June 13, 2005 Originally posted by MrSage What does this mod do? My tweed 5F1 champ replica runs at pretty high voltages... Basically adjusts the idle current. I checked my Champ's 6V6 with my bias probe and sure enough, it was roasting. It's similar to setting the bias in amps where you can adjust the bias. What are you seeing on pin 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ickystay Posted June 13, 2005 Members Share Posted June 13, 2005 I can't help but smile imagining Sir HC explaining his "luggage" to the security creeps at the airport. "It's a fuzz. You know, for guitar. No, Electric guitar. You know, like Jimi Hendrix used. Jimi Hendrix, a great guitar player from the '60's. Are You Experienced? No, that's the name of his first album. Sweet {censored}ing jesus, they're all cordless razers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friends of mine had a similar problem when they were walking back form band practise a few years ago and came across a Bill Clinton public appearance in the town square (when he was the leader of the free world) - they had pedalboards in hand and thought it best to drop them off somewhere else before walking into the sniper-scope field.... icky - good to see you anyways - haven't seen you 'round in a while!

Members AcousticControl Posted June 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 bumping for the honorable Sir HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir H C Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 So on the way back, I had the pedals in a Snoopy suitcase. I little thing. Both directions they swiped the pedals to be sure they were not explosives. Nothing found so all was cool. BBQ was great. The ICBM is a spot on version of the IC Big Muff. You could not tell which was on when you dialed them both in. It was amazing. Thanks Erik and Ian I had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sir H C Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 Went to Sonoma and took some back roads and that sign was across the road. Had to snap a picture of it, it was so classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sirhcathome Posted June 19, 2005 Members Share Posted June 19, 2005 So I opened it up: UA741 op amp RC4558 op-amp not sure if there are more markings but these are kind of hard to see without pulling the whole board out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, thanks. The current production TI RC4558's sound different. I like them all right, but the vintage RCA CA1458's work better for me. I just tried a current production SGS MC1458 and did not care for it. Never thought I'd be cork-sniffing opamps as part of my job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
