Hi,

A friend gave me his fulltone soulbender for me to have a look at.
At first sight it seems dead, it only makes a low ticking noise.

Dies anybody have a schematic for this pedal? I've checked the ones on the GGG site, but they seem to be different.

The effect is this one:



Thanks!

otherwise, trace the schematic with the PCB. it seems to be tinny it would be easy to do.

isn't a tonebender MK3 clone ?

azrael

Different? Really? I'd love to see a trace, then.

i tried one in a store in 02. sounded great.
my life is a tribute to the the great men and women who held this country together when the world was in trouble. my debt cannot be repaid, but i will do my best.

Thanks! I'll open it up and try a trace then. Might take some time though.. I'm in the midle of a move :)

^Looks identical to the GGG one. :shrug:

...and both are missing a 10k resistor to ground at the collector resistor of Q3.

The 2006 version is slightly different, guts can be found at the other (free stompboxes) forum.
