I cherish Lloyd's memories and documentation almost as much as I cherish his playing.

Deliberate use of timing finesse on the A&B is an 'always on' tool.
But being able to consistently and reliably floor both pedals together and bottom them out 100% of the time is simply fundament ...

That's where I was going in my post above.

any ideas?

One day Stu brought me a Desert Rose he had just unboxed. It had arrived with a detached lower return spring and the changer on that string 'inside out'.
The spring had popped a ...

As has been pretty thoroughly covered, it's all about pedal/cross shaft return springs. You can have an inch of slack in the pull train but when you turn the guitar upright, gravity will pull the ped ...

That makes a LOT of sense. I definitely see great advantage in using this as a means to avoiding such tight-quarters soldering work.

I have these. I use them on some guitars, don't bother on others. You will need to bore out the wiring hole in the cavity to pass this through. But not a whole lot. They are quite small.

Yes, I thought of that when I was posting. Unfortunately the photo of the international power supply (PS-2) is virtually illegible.

Here are two photos from a pedal I sold here a couple of years ago. And then one photo from the Telonics manual.

This looks great, Brad! Question... Any reason this wouldn't run well using a quality isolated power supply on a pedalboard rather than the included wall wart? If that wouldn't be a problem, any requi ...

Ah. Nice! Definitely advanced level hackery.

1) why.....
Never could figure why they did the RKL 5th string B > A# lower.
Truth is, I don't hate it. But it certainly is adrift of 'standard' for a 4 lever guitar.
2) can I alter it.....

Only thing I'll add is that while yes, you will need to tune the 3rd string B pedal for the different gauge string, the amount of difference is not so much that there is any danger that an un-adjusted ...

Wayne -- zero worries! None! But thanks. I'll be interested to see what you've come up with as a tool. A dental pick has been my friend for a while.

¡Gracias!

A friend with a new-to-him D-8 with the Tele style neck selector switch has a problem with the switch not 'latching' into any of the three positions -- just a smooth sweep.

Can this switch be repla ...

I just checked. The button latched all the way in is the passive position. A little bit out (I don't remember how far it sticks out, now that I have an extension piece on the button) is active.

If I recall, the button is inset pretty deep so you need an object (anything....pencil, little screwdriver....) to push it deep enough to latch. I actually fitted mine with a little extender so that ...

I'm watching this because it's really cool. I have very little to offer.
One thing, though, is this StewMac vid on tuners with old hardened gunk inside.
