[HeaD]

Hi to everybody. I've found a Marshall Shredmaster schematics/layout on this site:

I love the range of the contour pot

BYOC have a clone of it

Code Select Expand

http://buildyourownclone.com/shredderinstructions.pdf looks the same from the brief look at both schems

I had an original shredmaster but lent it to a friend ages ago. It was pretty good from what I can remember

haha i also lent mine to a friend, perhaps foolishly, and never got it back

pretty versatile distortion pedal though, i think, mine will be missed.

Hi Guys,

I've had my shredmaster for a while now, it's been gigged and toured pretty heavily and taken a battering once in a while, but generally it's been on a board the whole time and safe.

Over the past few months it's been showing an intermittent fault where the pedal is switched on with full shredmaster roar coming out of the amp. But then the sound dies out (it fades to silence a bit like a loss in power) and stops making any sound. I switch it to bypass and back on again quickly and it works again back to full sound/power. Sometimes only to die out again maybe 5-15 seconds later. Throughout all of this the red light works perfectly when the pedal is on, it shows no sign of fatigue.

I have taken it to an electrician, but he says there is nothing wrong with it (obviously he is wrong).

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I'm going to take the pedal to another electrician with the schematics, but i am starting to lose hope! I am in a touring band and i cant afford £150 to purchase another on ebay and i'm not the most educated chap in the field of circuit board electronics!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
