Hi Jow Forums
Any of you specialize in/have an understanding of vintage guitar pedals?
I only just found out today that it's worth $500, and I just broke it a few days ago. LED doesn't light up, when used it works for about half a second and then fades to nothing.
Am I out of luck?
Pic of internals, probably just need to replace switch
Did you try a new battery?
Pedals run off of 9v adapters
As for OP, when it broke did you hear a loud pop
If you did, might've blown a cap, if you didn't the switch is probably diddled
I know they can run off adapters, but OP didn't specify
...
Try powering with 9v battery yet?
That's the adaptor I was using for it.
measured output voltage, it's actually 11V
same behaviour with battery or adapter, now
No, there was no pop.
Whats the current rating? I assume it relies on the adaptor for the right voltage and current, maybe you fried it
You dun goofed with wrong polarity. Boss runs off negative centerpower supply, you fried the pedal. Condolences.
it's rated 9v 300mA
current doesn't really matter though, since it only "takes as much as it needs"
This. It's the worst. What a shame, it's a dope pedal.
yeah that could be, I'll check when I'm home again
also a possible cause could be the fact that I used my PC's mobo headphone output at 100% volume as an input to the pedal... when it's actually supposed to get much less
those aren't worth $500 lol. i have plenty of boss pedals including a spectrum sp-1
just because the only moron on ebay is asking 514 doesnt mean its gonna sell for that
temper your expectations op
i got mine for $150 and have had multiple offers in the 250-300 range but i'm not selling it
anyway back to /mu/
also nice job breaking it dumbass lol learn some elctricity nigga
El stupido.
Nothing in there costs anything, so if you just want to get it back to a working state it's not a problem. I'm guessing you burned out some transistors or the IC, but I'm not smart.
Go ask Also, those solder joints look like garbage.
this
I want to punch you in the face right now... How fucking hard it was to read what's written on the bottom of the pedal...

Gotta try to bring down hiroshimoot any way we can.
