Stagg EDB electronics problem

[Paul Rooney]

HI, I bought a Stagg EDB34 about 8 years ago. A few days ago it started making a very loud rustling noise through the amp and headphones. Sometimes the rustling noise goes and I have to turn the amp (10watts) up to max to get a note. Any ideas on what the problem could be ?
I've opened the EDB up and looked at the wiring and can't see any loose connections.
I suspect that it is a component in the board that is causing the problem.
Any ideas as to how to fix the problem and/or how I can get a replacement board (PCB)
with all the components on it so I can just replace the old one with the new board ?

Stagg has a Webb page, I'd start my search for a board there.

Good luck.

Thanks Malcolm. Unfortunately no details of the parts I'm looking for and no contact details on the Stagg website. Yesterday, I sent a message to Stagg using their facebook page but no reply as yet. I've also looked on Amazon and eBay for the parts but haven't found anything yet but early days.

Just ran into this thread while looking for something else.
Were you able to solve your preamp problems?
It is actuallt quite simple circuit, but usually issue is external connections to/from the preamp, rather than failure of a component on the board itself.

3 years after your post, I've just come across this trying to solve exactly this problem. My EDB34 hasn't been played in many, many years, and now I'm getting this. The first thing I tried was replacing the output jack, in case it had corroded, but no difference. My guess now is that it's a capacitor on the board that needs to be replaced. Any input/insight would be very welcome!

Never mind, problem sorted. Can't delete the message now!

For those needing new Stagg preamp, EMD Music is their official distributor; the preamp is ~$40 from them.
