Re: SDS-8 voltage again

2007-08-06 by monodist

Hi Jesper,

If you can't find schematics, I think I might find some time to open my unit in the weekend 
and take some pictures of the inside with voltmeter attached for reference.

Niels.


I'm still looking for someone who can tell me how to mod the SDS1000 to create more 
bend and longer decay. I have been able to increase the bend, but not without influencing 
the pitch range as well. It would be nice if there's someone who knows which parts to 
replace without risking to turn the unit into a toaster.
