I was wondering if anyone has this pedal at hand, Im trying to restore the external trigger jack to my pds8000. Almost a year ago I changed the leads on the trigger input for an expression pedal but I lost my notes. I don't see any disconnected leads and to be honest I never figure out the external trigger function so I don't have a good way to figure out by trial and error. I think the pds2000 has the same wiring as the pds8000

Thanks in advance for any help at all!

I'll try to take a look at mine later, but you have to tell me more about wiring that jack for an expression pedal.

ah great! thank you, I fiddled with it some more, I have external triggering sending it loud audio, but then I lost the pedal triggering function. so I must have something wrong...

and about the expression controller I spared the details for length but the "expression" input I made was more like a CV input, I found you can just have a lead going to the center lug of the delay time pot and control it with anything sending +5V. +9V didnt seem to do any damage but it was harder to control. my favorites were giving it voltages from meatball clone and behringer tremolo/pan... I actually have a clip if you can bare the awful playing  :icon_lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euxQslqwuX8

Bump, does anyone have info on the trigger jack? I'll leave it alone after this but I figure this would be the one forum that could possibly help.
