steve-bbb Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Morning all - missing wire on my board - does anybody have an (early) status with a BP1 board in? i have just bought a new set of pots kindly supplied by Dawn at Status, and am about to replace the old worn/damaged pots... however i seem to be a wire short somewhere my tone pot currently only has one wire leading to it - am assuming the second lead should go to the middle tab of the pot but not totally sure hwere the other end attaches (also assuming it possibly goes to an inout of one of the op-amp halves of the chip - possibly pin 2 or 3 ??? https://www.kynix.com/uploadfiles/pdf9675/LM4250CN.pdf or does the tone control go after the op-amp? see attached - hope this makes sense thanks muchly Edited February 6, 2019 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I dont think you are missing any wires. That cap looks wrong, shouldn't one leg be attached to the input of the volume pot and the other leg to the middle lug of the tone pot.

steve-bbb Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 updated the original pic as some omissions when tracing out the tracks on the board - the chip is a single op-amp so am guessing the tone has to sit somehwere between the amp input (pins 2 and 3) and the mixed blend input from the pickups (the blue and orange pair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) for info - the tone cap across the pot is correct comparing to the later status model Board100, and on that board all three connections on the tone pot are used Edited February 6, 2019 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) I found this pic of a BP1 board on the Statii forum which shows the middle pin of the tone pot connected to one of the outer pins of the blend pot. The other pin of the tone pot isn't connected to anything. Here's the link to the thread - http://www.statii.com/forum/print.php?type=F&thread=2232 Edited February 6, 2019 by ikay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
