jay249 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 This weekend I decided to try to mod my double muff, i wanted the boss style power on it, I've ordered the parts in from Maplin's, as the ones I bought there yesterday were slightly the wrong size, but I tried the present mod with the right size adapter piece and success! it works! I will need to drill out the cutout on the back slightly to get the boss style socket to fit, I don't care about devaluing it, bought it to use it! I can finally put my pedal daisy chain to good use. Also gonna do the same to my Bassballs pedal and I also have a CS3 mod kit on order! I'll post pics of the finished article when it's all done! Quote

jay249 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 really? wow, i havent opened the bassballs up, in case i bassballsed up modding my double muff, im definitely gonna have a go with that for sure! cheers Quote
jay249 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 Okay.. I've done the mod all fine and dandy but it only works the opposite way around to my bosses, and when in a daisy chain it either doesnt work itself, or stops the boss from working, i have tried wiring it several different ways and cant see what's wrong....could it be because i've took away the battery clip?

tayste_2000 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 You've either wired the tip and sleeve up wrong or somehow you are reversing the polarity inside it. Quote
jay249 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 That's what I suspected, but I was careful not to say anything as if i really wasnt confident i knew! Anyway that's a start, cheers mate! Quote
jon prothero Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 If I am correct you should be able to use a 2135AR - 2.1mm to 1/8” Jack www.madisonandfifth.co.uk/docs/PedalSnakeG2.brochure.pdf one end goes onto the daisy chain the other into youe electro haronics pedal. I going to get one soon but I am led to belive this would work rather than modding your pedal. If any one can confirm this I would be very happy! Quote
jay249 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 Yeah i was aware of the adaptors, i'd rather have it work properly on a boss style jack.... i will get a electrical expert mate to take over! Quote
obbm Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 I think you'll find that because on EH pedals the chassis connectedto 0v (-) and on Boss it's connected to +9v(+), you need to totally isolate the socket from the chassis. I make and sell adaptor cables and I have a few odd ones that were cut slightly too short. If you want one f.o.c. then pm me. Quote
