Anyone had a chance to look at PRO TONE JASON BECKER DISTORTION PEDAL?

[KH602]

Has anyone had the chance to look at the insides or find a schematic? would be quite interested to see whats inside whether it would be
normal analogue components or SMD etc.

I uses std components. I don't have a schematic for one, but I'd like to get my hands on one as I'm going to be repairing one in the very near future.

[Paul Marossy]

I repaired it without a schematic. It's a circuit that uses seven J201s in it. Not sure if it's an original design or a copy of something else. It sounds decent, wide range of tones depending on how you tweak the knobs.

My only complaint about it is that the tracks on the PCB are so thin (1mm or less) that the PCB is very easily damaged. The reason I had to repair it is because there were two loose caps on the circuit board and one of the LEDs was non-functional. These were all due to the PCB tracks being broken somehow - the capacitors were actually wiggling inside their holes. No idea how the damaged occured, there is not even a battery inside the unit. And then a track to one of the pots broke on me just getting the circuitboard out of the enclosure.

Congratulations on the fix. Very nice.

Thanks.

do you have a schematic of this pedal or any screens of the pcb etc? would love to know how its made

What is everyone's opinion on the pedal? I haven't played one. I love Becker, one of my biggest influences, but I can't say I particularly adore his tone.

No PCB or schematic that I am aware of. I took a few pictures of it for my own use in case I ever need to fix another one.

I don't know what to compare it to. It sounds more or less like a Dr Boogey to me. I kind of like the switchable boost feature, would be good for doing a solo in the middle of a song. I only played it for a few minutes, wasn't terribly excited about it as I'm more into smoother sounding overdrives & distortions.

Same here mate. Cheers for the comments.
