Worth messing with an FX25?

[James Hart]

I think I paid about $60 new in the early 80s... 1983 I'm thinking... at the Sam Ash on route 4 in Paramus NJ.

I was wondering, is there any schematics and or service notes out there? I would love to be able to add a side chain input to mine.

Yes, there are three or four different schematics that I've seen, for the different generations of design they put out. Search over on diystompboxes for the link. I'll be able to provide a schema for the 1'st gen one in a few weeks or so.

 

[knarleybass]

are you making a schematic based on the pedal or do you have a source for one?

Doood! You'll never believe what just happened! I was taking out my 1st generation FX24 I had just got from the bay. The one that was in supper good condition with box and ALL documentation! http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=420065&highlight=DOD+filter
I was reading your post when I saw:

1. The unsigned warranty
2. The instructions (not much)
3. get this The freaking SCHEMATIC!

The only thing is I don't have a scanner and the only camera I have is in my cell!

 

[bongomania]

If you mail it to me I'll scan it, post the scan, and return the original to you promptly. PM me if that works for you.

Bob K, I'm working from a pedal and writing it down, and will (if I need) draw a schema from that.

I'd love a copy... I'm all into this pedal building thing

 

[Badmuthaplucka]

OK, my brother has a scanner but I'm dead tired and (I go into work at 2:30Am!) and I have to go out of town tomorrow. I should have access to a camera and I can try to find a computer at a internet cafe tomorrow. If worst comes to worst I'll email it to bongo on Monday. Bongo if you absolutely need the original something can be arranged.

I would post it myself but my subscription expired.

I have server space... I can host the files as well.

I wonder wich model Bill Laswell prefers. I bet he knows wich one is very best

I jamed out 6 hrs straight with mine friday. That thing is so much fun. I live in Apts, and I had my Trace Elliot 1000 watt BFC rig blasting full blast that whole 6 hrs. (No cops ever showed up )

Crack heads were walking up listening. I would walk outside with my wireless jammin like crazy. man I was sooooo into it.

Yeah its so much fun!! here's a lil clip of me playin on mine!!



I think i found a nice tone out of it. Not too wet but still plenty funky.

Excuse my sloppy playing ... it was only a test and my first youtube vid!!
