Title: Help with a Soundtank TS-5 Rehouse
Post by: mark2ward on July 03, 2012, 11:22:30 PM
Hey guys, I got the bright idea to rehouse my little, plastic soundtank ts5 tubescreamer. I have made a good bit of progress, I took out the two transistors and jumpered he pads to make it an "always on" circuit and will now use standard 3DPT true bypass wiring. But I feel like a n00b and don't know how to wire the new input and output jacks up. The old jacks are enclosed with three lugs, and I don't know which lug is which. Thanks in advance guys.

if you have a multimeter, use the continuity tester to trace out what each of the lugs does.  if you don't have a multi meter, they are pretty reasonable at harbor fright and online.

this is good move, the ts5 is very unreliable in its stock enclosure due to the crappy jacks/mounting of jacks.
