Anyone go Completely wireless?

support@line6.com — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:28:56 GMT

Guitar to Pedalboard (Wireless)

Pedal Board to Both Amp Front & Amp Loop (Wireless)

Return from the Amps Loop (Wireless)

This would leave only the "Power" & the "Amps footswitch cable" to set-up. (On my rig anyhow)

But Running 4 Wireless units??

I am just thinking outloud!! lol

Re: What AC adapter to use with pocket pod?

An adaptor which has 9V DC output, up to 9.6 V DC. will work fine... The Amp rating needs to be 200mA or more..anything lower the transformer will either get hot...or worst (if much lower, like a 20mA one) burn out...and smell bad too...lol. Center pin Negative on the conector is another important factor..And never use an "AC" to "AC" transformer.

Re: Bias Adjustment & Test Points Modification

Hello everyone..Late to Post...

I finished the external Bias “Station” Mod... on my Spider-Valve MK1. And while I was at it (drilling holes) I decided to do the SV-Pre external Push Mode access points with pedal option....at the same time.

I also ordered the Parts from Weber Speakers (USA), and had them (the parts) shipped to Brasil, the order was 18 USD, so I didn´t pay import taxes (Duty).. Just the currency exchange rate.. which is low at this time....And it took only 2 weeks to arrive too...Got to love it... (when you are used to month’s!!!)

And I ordered new valves all-around. They have not arrived yet, Svetlana 6L6GC NSV-6L6GC matched pair, and Svetlana 12AX7 NSV-12AX7 with Matched Sections, from The Tube Store: http://thetubestore.com/nsvetlana.html

The Mod works Great...But I did/do have one issue..My V-4 25k Pot seems to be slightly defective..But I have learned to trim with it nonetheless. I´ll try to explain.. V3 Pot acts as expected, but the V-4 one... At it´s lowest setting. They both (V-3 & V-4) sit at +/- 1 mV difference from a reading of 11.5 mV. But once I turn V-4 Pot up only 1 mm (Clockwise) & stop, the mV´s rise without stopping gradually to the heavens..(I got caught of guard the first time and it went to 120 mV) I found I could control it by going back to the lowest setting, or going up about half way, then it seems to taper off to a “Normal' behavior... And Once “Locked” (using the lock Nut) it stays where I put it...I tested this over 3 days...and I have even tapped it on the shaft with a pair of pliers, to be sure it wasn´t a “fluke” (Digital Multi-Meters Batman)

As well before I did the Mod´s I wanted to have readings, so I found I was biased lowered than I thought at 31mV on both V-3 & V-4.. The last time I checked was about a year ago. I don´t use my Amp too often (or didn´t as much as I do now)

Then I metered the SV-pre to ground and as well to it´s pcb´s common, (could be isolated) reading from the DIP-Switches were so low in the mV range, that adding an external switching point & optional pedal Jack, seemed feasible, so why not? Even if I may never build a pedal. I wired a switchable TRS Female: SW-1 to Tip, SW-2 to Ring, and Common to Sleeve..

My overall rating of this mod is 5-Star...regardless of the V-4 pot...It makes taking knots (measurements) so easy.... The Difficulty for me was the actual drilling, because I used cheap hand tools, when in the past, I got used to having a full shop available to me, hand tools are not accurate as I´d like, nor do they have the torque that a Drill Press does, ect. Yes I did the Awl mark, then a 1mm pilot hole, then used the 6mm bit. But I was not filled with confidence...LOL even though it wasn´t a “hard” thing to do..LOL

Removing the old parts, (Trim Pots & dip Switch for the SV-Pre) was easy, the trick to this is to let the part/s cool off before you give it a second or 3^rd go.. and if the solder isn´t liquifying, add a little fresh solder..and keep it cool... Take your time...

Due to my renown bad memory, I labeled everything using my printer, some photo-grade paper, and Spay on Glue. (Spray the back of the Paper on a cheap board after it´s trimmed & fitted, and not your Amp....LOL)

A different perspective with the same goal....How to listen...

You can do this test too...

Make 4 Presets "A, B, C & D"

Play loud again to reproduce this issue...

Then turn Off your Amp... Zero all your knobs...( except the Master & presence) Turn you amp on, now only use the Preset Buttons and selector switch (if needed?)

See if you can reproduce it now?

If you can´t?

Using a Footswitch (FBV) will most likely be the solution? But I like to tweek while playing... but at least you will know which knob not to touch..
