Members dolly123 Posted December 18, 2008 Members Share Posted December 18, 2008 Anyone know how to or can send me in the right direction,to wireup danelectro fab chorus,echo & overdrive pedals so they are always on. Have found info about re-houseing them but nothing that deals with rewiring them to be always on. Prefer pics or simple text rather than a schematic.Bit thick at reading schematics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katillac Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Are you wanting to have them so that the tap switch (foot switch) is completely disabled or taken out of the loop, so that as long as it has a battery in it or a power supply plugged in, it's on? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. If you mean,instead of having to stand on the footswitch to switch the effect on,i want them wired to always be on then yes.I will be useing a bypass looper like this i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/PRSplaya/DIY/4-loop-MB.png The looper will be on the floor but the pedals won't,it's basically just laziness to press the switches.

Members Jamingguitarist Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 why don't you just press the switches on and leave them on? That solves all the dilemma... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members katillac Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 I see what you mean now, Dolly. I wasn't thinking looper. I don't currently own a Fab pedal, but I plan to when I see a good deal on a Fab Echo, or I'd just open it up and see how the switch is operated. I also don't know if they are true bypass, so hopefully someone around here will and will know how to take the switch out of the loop. I know that on Behringer pedals, they use a really small switch, but I know how to yank those off the board and make it a direct connection. If the Fab uses the same little switch, it's just a matter of figuring out which "legs" go where and take things from there. Sorry I couldn't be any more help. I'll see if I can find a decent picture of the guts of one. The Echo should be easier to find, as that's the one that seems to be the most modified of all of them.

Members WRGKMC Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 When they loose power they loose signal which tells you the signal is buffered. The switch is momentary so wiring them to stay on requires bypassing some chip gating. The components inside are so small its going to be super hard to do anything with them. I would do as jamming guitarist suggested. Turn them on when you power up your rig and leave them alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
