Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi list,

I brought out the SDS-III to check out what the hell is the problem I'd 
experienced with the outs.

Connecting all four pads to the DIN-5 pad socket all of them triggers 
the right channels and the separate outs are loud and clear.

When swithing to mix out channel 3 and 4 still produce sounds but 1 and 
2 turns silent. I've eliminated all obvious things like grounding and 
dirty sockets, loose wires etc.

When fiddling with the effect switches on channel 1 I realise that it 
_sometimes_ feeds the signal to the mix out. The problem seems to be 
located in this part of the circuitry or even the switches themselves.

I'll dive into the schematics soon to see how it's rigged, but if anyone 
has any heureka moments out of this description, let me know. I focus on 
channel 1 since I get some results there and will assume that channel 2 
have some other issue I can deal with later.

Recent Ebay note:

A claptrap mk1 was sold on ebay Germany yesterday. 451 euros. Yesterday 
was a 70's e-drum evening with a Syncussion selling at 600+ and a 
Pollard twin at 407 (I know that exact figure 'cause I placed the 406, 
hoping to snatch the pedal and resell the synth). :S

cheers,
