Aion Stratus question

[scumparty]

Hello forum! I am a new to the forum and to pedal building altogether. I got myself a Airon Stratus board to start with and I have a question.

I want to build the stock circuit with the bright and flat mids mods (leaving out the bass mod). In that case, can you confirm that I DON'T need to solder CX2 and CX3 capacitors? And will I have the a SPDT center-off switch with Flat mids- stock (no mod)-bright positions?

Here are the jumpers I plan on soldering and the circuit, so you know what I mean.

(and here is the documentation, in case more info in needed https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2g113hophsg3e9/aion-stratus-ts9-documentation-v2.pdf).




Thanks a lot!
Clara.

Hi Clara,

No you don't need to solder a capacitor on CX2 and CX3.
And yes you'll need a center off switch for the bright mod and a center off switch for the flats mid mod.
The switch for the flat mids mod is enabled in the center position.

thanks! that was really helpful

Ahhh, don't do that - you'll have problems. The jumpers set the on-board switch to control one of the mods, but if you hook up more than one of the jumpers to the switch, you'll have some circuit-bending going on.

If you want to use more than one mod, you'll have to use an offboard switch. Instead of using the jumpers, take the outer (right-most or bottom-most) pads for the mod and run wires from those directly to a switch. Could get cramped in a 1590B, but you can probably get away with fixing it to the side of the enclosure.
