Hi!

That's great that you managed to fix your pedal! I still have my broken RV-5 so I will check those capacitors that you mentioned.

Thanks for adding this information - If it doesn't fix mine, it might help someone else in the future who finds this post

I bought a whole bunch of pedals about 5 years ago, all on ebay, and got reasonably lucky with the prices. But I had a lot of spare time to burn and was constantly refreshing looking to grab the offers as soon as I saw them. I mostly got all the ones I wanted (I bought 11 Boss Pedals in 2019 :o ) I ...

Hi, Thanks so much for replying, that's all really helpful :) I'd say my ears definitely fall into the 'I wouldn't notice a difference' category but I'm still humming and hawing over this - a weird obligation to make this stock with the right parts, to 'restore' it. My DS-1 is a weird one in that al...

Hi, I bought a MIT DS-1 but it's from the era where the internals were still Japanese spec. I had a look inside the other night and noticed the D4 and D5 had been removed at some point in its past. I didn't even realise (I was using it as a boost!) I'd like to return it to stock as much as possible ...

hope these are useful!

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll go with the banzaimusic pot as that seems the easiest solution as I'm based in the EU too.

Hi everyone! I managed to get a PQ-4 for cheap but one of the dual pots is bend slightly. It's the leftmost Presence/Low one - it still works fine but it's a little awkward to use as a result - turning the outer ring will make the inner ring move too at certain points. Is this pot something that exi...

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for a beat up one Sure, I had fun anyway trying to figure this thing out with your help once again. Thanks!

I replaced X1 and there's been no change at all unfortunately.

Time to call an end to this endeavour I guess, unless there's anything else worth considering

Finally got the scope kit and have assembled it.

Provide I'm using it correctly, there's nothing on R78

Pin #16 of IC8 also has no signal on it.

Am I definitely out of luck at this stage?
