How not to take care of your pedals.

[Locrian99]

Good friend of mine buys and sells a lot of gear. Got a 78 peavey deuce barn find. Amp works great after some cleaning. In the back there were some old coil type cords and under them was this….


Attempted to remove the battery and he said the snaps and everything just kind of crumbled. It’s a dod 250 circuit wise I’ll try and get it back to life after I get it from him.

I'd test that battery before re-using.

Sometimes there is just too much mojo…

I'd toss the guts and start over in the enclosure

Thats a sweet enclosure! Definitely at least save that.

 

[Locrian99]

Likely I’ll just end up making the circuit on stripboard (I might do 1n34as though like the distortion +) and putting it in this enclosure. This however does use a dual op amp instead of the usual 741

I see nothing wrong. This is how all my builds looks when I am done.

That's one serious case of acid reflux

A couple pieces of duct tape, some paint, it'll be fine! As far as the enclosure goes, you can still buy them....




WHOA, while I was looking for the above pic I found out they have wah pedal enclosures!

That’s cheaper than I’ve seen the wah enclosures before. One of these days I’ll get around to making an optical vibe in one of those.

I fixed your problem.

I’ll have to ask him to send me one. He didn’t bring it to me because he was able to get it working without really doing anything. It’s a dod 250 though. Using the 4558 instead of a 741 only using 1 side of the op amp.

Asymmetrical clipping too…
