Hi Julian,
I have an SDSV and also the schematics.
I can take a picture of the bass card. I don't know what are the componants that values change.

Well, i don't think people like parting with them, but who knows. normally the hunt is on for cymbals and hihat cards though...

Check www.simmons.synth.net/sds5 for schematics

Enjoy this group... I'm the moderator so just let me know if something is unclear.

electronically yours, jesper - still happy after his SDS-7 bargain the day before yesterday and the fact that it's former Ultravox gear isn't bad either (I'm moderator on the Ultravox list too, what a coincidence!) ;)
