SDS-8 voltage again

SDS-8 voltage again

2007-08-06 by jesper@electronic-obsession.se

Hi List!

Does anyone here have the schematics for the SDS-8? Mine was sold with 
external PSU which now is lost and I need to sort out how to wire the PSU. 
It wants 2x18 volts AC and ground.

electronically yours, jesper

Hi Jesper
I tought they are on the group??
If you're sure it's 18 V AC then find out what the ground is and the other
are the 18 V pins
But is not 18 DC with + and - ???

good luck
Berk

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.

Unfortunately not. Haven't been able to find them anywhere. You're welcome to give it a 
try if you live anywhere near utrecht

groeten, Niels

om langs te komen

groet Berk

For every one who doesn't understand dutch
I told Niels that I live in Breda and after I've finished rebuilding my studio
he is welcome
