    Wow! I have a Deluxe Electric Mistress, at some point it started to get a clock noise, so I opened it and foud 3 trimpots and started to adjust them by ear until that noise disappeared and works perfectly. I thought "well, I can't broke it more, let's try this by ear" and it worked. Just intuition.

    Nice info and video!!!
    Does Compressor/Sustainer have trim pot bias?

    Can you use this device to trace and audio input signal through a tube guitar amp? Is there an issue with the high voltages on the amp circuit and this device?

    I wonder if we can use a Trimmer Pot to convert a Linear pot to a Logarithmic pot?

    Thanks for this video. Well explained as always. I am confused on one point though. The Rangemaster spec says 2 volts, not 7. So are we actually measuring the voltage DROP? Thanks again. EDIT: I just noticed that voltages are inverted, is that the reason?

      Yep, inverted for the PNP to NPN conversion

    Also, I chuckled at "earballing it"

    I have a quick question. Just built a delay/modulation pedal, a clone of the EQD Space Spiral, and the repeat volume is super low, you can hear repeat and wobble when I turn the pots but the volume is so low it’s almost impossible to hear. What could be the problem? The initial volume of my guitar is normal, it’s just the repeats.

      I'm looking at the Dark Rift Delay schematic as a reference, but leaving pin 7 of the PT2399 is where the output of the delay signal starts. I'd use an audio probe and follow that out from Pin 7, then go to the other side of the 1uF capacitor connected to pin 7, then the 1K resistor after that, then to the 10nF cap after that, getting to your repeats potentiometer. Somewhere in there is either a bad solder joint, a bad component, or a short.

      @@erikvincent5846 I’ll check all of that out today and let you know the outcome. Thank you!

    can you please tell us how to wire 50k trimmer pots instead of normal pots ? as they have there connections also ?

    Do these ship out of Aus or Florida?

    I just realized my 1981 EHX Small Clone has a trim pot. I opened it up to check it out and see what it looked like. I’ve been searching online or on youtube and it looks like this feature is only to bias the pedal and really shouldn’t be touched if not needed so I guess I’ll leave it alone.
