Does anyone have a JEN double sound?!?

[tss]

I have one but the wiring is incorrect. If someone could post hi-res pictures of the wiring it would be fantastic. I have a couple of layout files (drawn) but they are incorrect. Thanks!

I built a clone of one, but it's just a circuit board sitting in a drawer now so pictures probably won't help.

However, I did do a PCB layout and it shows how the wiring should be. You can check it out here:

IIRC, it's a straight copy of the PCB that is in the original Double Sounds. Hope that helps...

Hello Paul,

I have this file, but from whatever reason it does not work when wired this way. I don't know why... also my unit comes with a DPDT switch (seems original).

I was afraid you were going to tell me that. My layout is based on what info I was given by someone who had one. And I built mine from that layout and it worked. I remember I had a little trouble figuring out the switching part, but the layout I have here is what it ended up being. Maybe you can follow the progression of layouts here and see if you find anything that might help: http://www.diyguitarist.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=522&start=0

This was made by the guy who had the Double Sound in his possession: http://www.franksmusic.homecall.co.uk/jen_doublesoundsuper/jen_doublesound_switches.gif

i have one that has been modified and i never tested it. but it's open right here in front of me. i'll compare it to that layout


edit: on mine the dist/wah switch has been replaced by a 5 pin din. and there's another 5 pin din. and a 9V in. and 2 extra pots...

i won't be much help here :p

I have figured it out!!! From whatever reason it wasn't as easy as I thought but now it works! I will post something showing my wiring!
