Title: Fulltone Soul Bender
Post by: Swoon on March 22, 2010, 03:47:46 AM

Hi,

A friend gave me his fulltone soulbender for me to have a look at.
At first sight it seems dead, it only makes a low ticking noise.

Dies anybody have a schematic for this pedal? I've checked the ones on the GGG site, but they seem to be different.

The effect is this one:

Thanks!

Stefan

otherwise, trace the schematic with the PCB. it seems to be tinny it would be easy to do.

isn't a tonebender MK3 clone ?

...and both are missing a 10k resistor to ground at the collector resistor of Q3.

The 2006 version is slightly different, guts can be found at the other (free stompboxes) forum.
