[eat your parents]

Hi,

Does anyone know of someone round these parts who does pedal repairs. I'm also looking for someone who can build pedals.

Thanks

Good question, as i have a 70's Electro harmonix clone theory i've been meaning to get fixed.

Try taking it into rnb, they could possibly rewire it

Isn't Tav hovering around pedal building? Not sure if he's started yet though...

Tav has been looking into pedal building, as have I, but i doubt i could fix anything (unless it was a simple fault) and i have no idea how good Tav is

RnB is worth a try, not sure how much they actually know about pedal building other than simple fixes...

Hello! Yeah I am still yet to build but I have done heaps of research into the craft. I recently finished school and started work so I should have the time/money to start in the next few weeks. I may <small chance here> be able to help you with your pedal depending on what make/model it is and what the problem is...just like David if it's simple and I can get schematics. As for building pedals what are you looking for?

I couldve sworn there was an Issue of Guitarist magazine featuring matt bellamy which had a section on building your own overdrive pedal

look for back issues

My old Zoom 1010 multi fx pedal gave up the ghost a few years ago. The problem seemed to be a ropey power input socket - it had been a bit wobbly for a while. If anyone thinks that they could fix it for a sensible price (say £10-15) then I'd be interested in getting it done, as I had a few good patches on there.

if the power socket is the problem it *should* be simple enough to replace it, though i am guessing its a pcb mounted one which would make it slightly harder (though still doable)

Yeah has David said above. Whilst we are on the pedal subject...has anyone seen any schematics/info on build powered pedal boards. I'd like to try and make a pedal that allowed each pedal to be plugged into the board in parallel, this is a good way of keeping your tone good and not loosing anything in long chains. I was hoping there would be something to give me some pointers...even effects loop circuits from amps would be a start.
