[quote name='retroman' post='577585' date='Aug 22 2009, 02:27 PM']Above advice is sound I would recommend making sure that you have a good quality soldering iron. I favour the gas type made by Portosol, that have the interchangable tips. Also make sure that you are using good quality pre fluxed solder. £5 worth of iron + solder from the pound shop won't cut it!! Allow iron to heat up properly. "Tin" the end of the iron with fresh solder. You then need to tin the end of the wire, and the terminal on the pot. For tinning terminals I would recommend placing the iron under the terminal, and then tin the other side, by allowing the heat to travel through the terminal. Don't take too long and melt the pot though! With all parts properly tinned, again place the iron under the terminal, place the wire on top of the terminal, and watch for the solder to melt on the terminal and the wire. Should have a good joint then. For fine work like guitar pots, I would recommend using a small soldering tip. Not a screw driver type that you get on cheap electric irons When you are happy with your solder joint, I would also recommend a small length of heat shrink over the joint. Not only for insulation, but it helps prevent the wire breaking below the solder joint. Hope this helps, and makes sense. [/quote] That one post should be stickied Thanks alot mate

Myke sold me a set of Status groundwounds, they were posted straight away and arrived safe and sound. Thanks Myke!

[quote name='ahpook' post='577536' date='Aug 22 2009, 01:20 PM']the bodies of pots are usually lacquered iirc, so the first thing you should do is to cut through that to get to the bare metal - a small file or piece of emery paper should do the trick[/quote] Done that did the trick on one, but the other still comes unstuck. I did wipe clean the back after sanding it. Doesnt help that the SD wiring guide looks backward..... also im s*** at this wiring malarky.

hellllp

great board!

Gaf sold me his loop pedal. Arrived well packed and works a treat. Great guy too! Thanks.

Good looks my man. How deep is it? I cant fit one on the front rack, but might be able to on the back, rack.

Lovely job youve done there Jon.

[quote name='alexharvay' post='569121' date='Aug 14 2009, 03:11 PM']I need a bigger board as well. How's the MXR bass fuzz?[/quote] Ill be making another soon, something lighter and more rectangular. I like it (so much that i sold it and bought it back), but theres many who dont. Its a modern sounding fuzz, abit harsh while the LBM is a smooth fuzz.

hearing this track has given me flashbacks from my early teens.. :-/ thanks.

Dave sold me his DD-3. Great guy to deal with, the pedal arrived fast and well packed. Thanks mate

Need a bigger board

[quote name='Silent Fly' post='568654' date='Aug 14 2009, 09:05 AM']I agree with umph. If the PCB is totally destroyed resurrection is almost impossible but if it is just comatose a good doctor should be able to bring it back fully functional If you just ruined some tracks it not the end of the world. It can be fixed. If you send me the unit I can fix it for you and post some picture before, during and after the cure. Other DIYers might find interesting see how it can be done. All the best, Max [sfx][/quote] Cheers Max. Yes it was one of the tracks. If you could PM me your addess please, id like to take you up on the offer.

[quote name='umph' post='568307' date='Aug 13 2009, 07:10 PM']ey up send us the ds-1 and i'll get it back to life again if you want! i've got an urge to play around with one.[/quote] Can you ressurect PCB's? I lost my patience, i was 3 components away from finishing it.

[quote name='kingforaday' post='567168' date='Aug 12 2009, 07:12 PM']yep and sold your El Grande Bass Fuzz back to you! i posted it on my way to work today so it should be with you soon![/quote] Got it today mate! Another smooth transaction with Matt. Thanks alot.
