I wrote a long time ago about my sdsv head and how my snare channel does  not 
produce a snare sound at all. when I try to turn any knobs its like static  
and note together. All my other channels work great.
In laymans turms,What do I tell the repare man. What are the exact  parts I 
need on that snare drum channel
to fix the problem. Maybe a blown circut ect.  Thankyou     Rick
 
p.s. I don't know what is involved in your family fued . When I want info  
for anything, I want any and everyone to tell me all they know,the tricks of the 
 trade,any tactic that will help make what is needed at that time to make 
better  my work,make my work easier, save money on my work, not going blind into  
any situation 
at the mercy of the retailer . It doesn't matter  whose right I will  decide 
that for myself. All I want you to know you guys on the other side of the  
world I am as american as apply pie but my mom was born in Egypt.  I  am as white 
as  you can be with no trace of arabic culture .My mom is so  are her sisters 
who are all in their eighties. My mom was also miss Egypt in her  past.  Let 
the governments be screwy and as for us ,I rarely answer the  simmons gp. but 
i do enjoy the info yhat is passed around that I understand  about 1%

It _might_ be some voltage leak into the sound chain at some point, but 
it's really hard to tell just from that description.

But, is it just when you turn the knobs that you experience static? If 
so you probably need to change the potentiometers (under the knob 
itself). No bid deal. But that is if it sounds OK with "hands off".

Perhaps a bit stupid, but is there any triggering happening??
if not maybe a dead pad (or is this too obvious)
Do you get any sound, or nothing at all??

Boys,

I have for many years beaten the crap out of a set of SDS-8 pads along 
with an original SDS-V bass drum. Now I'm putting together a set of pads 
with real/mesh skins and plan to sell the hexagons, especially since 
it's just SDS-8's and being a "Simmons God (tm)" I focus on older units. 
*haha*
But, my main concern/question is: Is it a bad idea to let the bass drum 
go too? Maybe I'll get the idea one day to get a real SDS-V set and the 
tom pads are both easier to ship and easier to come by one by one than 
the bass drum. So, should I keep the bass drum "just in case"?
To use it together with the set I have now would be style murder. THe 
plexiglass of the Pollards and the mahogny of the SDS-IV is OK together 
in some weird way, but a heaxagon back spaceship with spurs below that 
would looke strange indeed.

Hello,
first of all: It does not matter what colour you are, what religion you practice or where you come from. For me, your information about the malfunction of your snare module is simply not enough. I can check or repair the module only if I have it in my shop.
The first steps you can check yourself are: What happens if you put the module into another slot? You only need a phillips screwdriver to unscrew the 4 scews of the module. May be, if the module is re-seated, it starts working properly. Watch for the small plastic piece sitting in the slot of the edge connector. Is this still there? Compare with other slots. Clean the edge connector! By the way: The edge connector is the small piece of the board sliding into the bus connector of the Simmons SDS V Rack. If the module is not working after all these tries, there are bad components on the card itself and it needs to be fixed. If you need the schematics to give to your repair shop, you can get these from me for FREE. I am sorry that I can't offer you more than this, it is a matter of the distance: I am located in Germany, Europe. Again: Sorry!!!!!!

See you soon

Michael (not god...)

Keep the spurs of the bass drum. They are hard to get. Sell the bassdrum without the spurs.

Exactly. Because I (nearly) have them all. This is going to be my
pension in 20 years

OK, point taken. The entire bass drum is in good nick too so I might 
keep it after all. Maybe worth using when playing a keyboard too or a 
cool way of re-triggering an envelope on a vintage patchable analogue...

What?! *disappointed* ;)

You can't imagine how many rude variations I've received offlist from 
the pathetic guy I threw out. He tries to convince me he's already back 
which I have a hard time understanding since noone has joined after May 
22. :D
