Noise Circuit SDS8

2009-09-29 by monodist

Hi Group,

The noise circuit on my SDS8 seems to be dead occasionally. It doesn't happen that often and when it happens a tap on the module brings it back to life. When it's dead, it's dead on all channels. I quess it's a permanent source of noise that's mixed in with the tone whenever a pad is striken. Seems to me that there is a faulty pcb line or a bad soldering on a component. So far I didn't notice anything. Does anyone know where the noise circuit is actually located on the pcb? It would help me a lot if I knew where to look exactly for cracks or loose solderings...

thanks,

Niels
