I have picked it up now and looks really good. some capacitors have been exchanged, the bottom plate is gone and the tubes are still the original ones. the backplate where you can choose the impedance ( between 1.5 ohm and 100!!) is cracked so i need to make a new one. so now i'm looking forward to ...

yes, but he says tubes glow, so i guess the transformers not blown, and i have always searched for an amp to repair, so this might be a good opportunity if its dead. so i think i'll take the chance. and with a little care i guess it could be gorgeous.

Tomorrow i might be picking up a 100w Geloso tube head for 750 kroner (85 pounds)

Geloso amp
i can see it has been modified because two tubes are replaced by smal transformers. but its made professionally. what do you guys think?
Is it worth the money?

i'll try that. thanks for the tip!

I didn't know where to put this, so be free to move this post. I am fixing up my jolana bass and split apart its guts because they were dead or on the verge of dying. The two pots, (one whitch never worked) are manufactured by TESLA and have values printed on them which i don't understand. Here's a ...

But thanks for your help! I really apreciate it!

I think i'll try to start from scratch with this one.

nothing.. i swaped the 100 nf, and now its totaly dead. (: fuck.

I'll redo them and see if it works.

I use a TL072IP chip. Could that be the problem? isn't it just a low noise version of the TL072?

Yes i did. Multiple times, they're all fine. Could i have fried the 100 nf cap? thats the only one that might have gotten to much heat.

Here are pictures of top and bottom of board:






Hope they can clerify..

I'll send pictures in a minute. I just cheked the thing again, and i began to doubt my power connection. This thing is just runing of a power supply, so therefore no batery connection. So i wired the thing like: http://cdn.banzaimusic.com/images/T/t_17611_01-01.gif There are three connections on the...

I have just yesterday built myself a standalone opamp buffer fro the beavis page. http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/Buffers/Buffer_clon.gif But as i tried it out, it wasn't what i expected. as i plucked harder and harder, it was more like the worst overdrive you could imagine. The IC is in a sock...

I play it through my Jazzmaster into some old Carlsbro Sherwood (acoustic amp) and it sounds swell.

I actually really like my OS-2. It was actually the first pedal i have owned. I think its good for slacky stuff and rythm (don't play much lead anyway) Just a little dirt. And as long as you keep the dial on the "overdrive" side you should be save. And i think you can get it extremely cheap.

I have seen these pictures before, but the gutshots aren't good, so its impossible to tell if it has any resemblence with the shin-ei or not.

On a danish ebay-isch page i found an Aria Fuzz Wah for ca. 70 £. As far as i know the shi-ei fuzz wah was also produced under this name, is this correct? I knoow 70 is quite expensive, but in denmark everything is pricey.

Yes! Theres actually one for sale on some ebay-like danish page for 80-ish £. for danish standards its ok.

I'm actually not sure, but i'm not home right now so can't check it. But you might be right.
