Any updates on this?

I am about to put my BSY600 on my board, for now at least it will be in a true bypass loop.
Hoping this thread delivers.

Found a shop with a bunch of 1550b's so will get back to this project soon.

Wow this is great! I could google it, but I just ask you: How does the true bypass work?

That's because it's lead-free solder, all new electronics are made with it. Yes, it melts at a higher temp than the old reliable 40/60 lead-tin solder. If you have an old fixed-temp iron, it might be time to buy a newer adjustable one.

Cheers Crater. Sick of sucking lead fumes anyway.

Moosgummi, this should help:

This would be what I was thinking for a true bypass for a rehousing. The problem with the doing this type of bypass to the BSY600 is that if you power the pedal up and it is not automatically on the bypass switch will not activate the pedal. I can imagine that a small reset button would help, however I am pretty sure there could be a better solution, and I am positive it has already been worked out somewhere . Anyone wishing to chime in at this point would be useful.

However,

is probably more along the lines of what DeltaPhoenix was talking about.

Did anyone ever give this a go and get it to work? Would be nice to have the hold on the rehouse.

hey Dan nice job. What enclosure size did you use?

DannDubblewe · #52 04-20-2013, 06:25 PM

125B.

Enclosed jacks, standard 16mm alpha pots, soft click switch (all panel mounted of course). I could care less about true bypass.

Guts in due time!

Didn't read the whole thread, so a possibly dumb question...does this eliminate the "hold" function?

**mjac28** · #54 04-20-2013, 06:41 PM

Dan is the man guy is a genius.

DannDubblewe · #55 04-20-2013, 07:12 PM

The hold function is still intact with the soft click switch.

Dazonbass · #56 04-20-2013, 07:25 PM

looks like you replaced all the variable resistors as well. Did you have any problems removing the original jacks, they are soldered on pretty solidly?

By the way Dan, thanks for breathing life into this thread.

Dazonbass · #57 04-20-2013, 07:27 PM

Oh yeah, guess you will be etching this afterwards

DannDubblewe · #58 04-20-2013, 08:07 PM

The pots had to be removed and replaced - the ones that were board mounted had no set screw, thus rehousing this pedal was basically pointless unless they were removed and replaced. They are ALL 50K pots. The jacks were just as difficult to remove as the potentiometers (which were actually harder because the contacts are so insanely close together) but the biggest problem is the solder which has to be heated very thoroughly and doesn't like to be nice. Proper desoldering equipment is necessary.

Etching? Well, of course!

This looks like excellent work! I still have mine. I rarely play with it anyway but it would be nice to have it modded like this.
