Not only are there 24 trimpots (count em) but there's also a 4pdt.  How absurd...

Wow!!! What is this monster?

No no, it's not cool, it's hilarious.   :lol:

Does look too funny tho.

Behold the 25th trimpot !

There's another one in by the white spaghetti, near the orange wire.

And I thought mikeb had a lot of pots on the IP.

Well, all of my pots do something ... and there are 4 trimpots also!  

The post-production tweaking of that Maxon pedal must be a QA nightmare.  :shock:

Mike

put the pedal to the middle & let it roar...

11 IC chips?!? What does this thing do?

It looks like a bunch of the shorter BBDs casscading to make up a long total delay time. I would suspect that the pots are for biasing each BBD.

I read the part # to be MC41070, which brings up nothing on google, but I'm pretty sure they're all BBDs cascaded for a longer delay time (1 second, I believe).  Must sound terrible.

That's the new Maxon BBD chip, no?

Quote from: SamuelThat's the new Maxon BBD chip, no?

I'm guessing so, I'm surprised not to find ANY info on the net about it.

They are MC4107D. Here is the only link that Yahoo gave me:

This looks like a pedal built for the Eric Johnsons of the world:
Eric:  "I thought take 458 was good too, but let's open the back and turn trimpot 17 an eigth of a turn to see how that sounds"
Recording Engineer:  "Dammmmm!"

Ah, it's hard to differentiate with such small text

-Colin

So if there's 11 chips and 900ms (880 to make the equation easier) each BBD must be supplying up to 80ms of delay... meaning that they're all probably around 2048 stage, no?

-Colin

Anyone own any Maxon pedals?  They are certainly talked up a bit high in the ads.  That TS clone made out to be a tube amp in a box...what a joke.

That kind of advertising immediately makes me suspicious....so for you future guitar FX marketing people out there:  give a good honest assessment of your pedals, and the quality will speak for itself.  You don't need anybody to tell you how good a pedal sounds unless you're not able to tell on your own...then go buy a Rogue or something and save yourself some money.

Wow! You could wear out your free samples welcome trying to build that beast :shock:

Speaking of laughs, for april fool's day, you could post the schematic for that in the beginner's section :twisted:
