Keep and eye out here

Looking forward to this!

That is correct. That's what's generating your white noise. Q1 is reverse biased with the collector left open. This uses the transistor in the same way a Zener diode is used in reverse breakdown.

Strange. I thought my super delay was quieter than my old MF-104M.

Updated section on low value capacitors. It turns out these are axial caps that look very similar to metal film resistors!

You can rule out the slide pots by de soldering them and using a different pot in their place. You could try jumping the emphasis pot with a wire/clip to see if bypassing it entirely gives you the effect you would normally have when fully up. I would verify voltages on all the ICs and transistors in...

You'd need to send a midi PC into your iOS devise. Then you can use a foot controller live. MidiDesigner recognizes the PC # along with the preset #. Pretty cool when you combine it with a foot controller like the GigRig to switch your pedals. My problem is that I have my iPad tied up in another ins...

Nice! That's always been a project I've been putting on the backburner. It's nice to have some direction for it. I've been using an iPad, but would definitely prefer a standalone box. Great work! Shoot me a message with what you'd like for one of these. Would be interested in buying one. Especially ...

It needs to be 47K to be the same as the model D. Sorry for the wrong link! It's updated. 1M is in there now, so I wouldn't imagine 470K to sound bad by any stretch.

Did it already ship? Mouser is usually good about replacing the part of you get in touch with them before it ships out.

I would definitely rock that car. I don't care what anybody says, that thing is pretty cool haha.

Definitely. Although, you should have went with the Homer Simpson car

Well, a lot of these are internal modifications or the rear panel jacks for hooking it into modular gear. If you completed every mod in the list, you'd have added 4 pots and 3 switches. I don't think that's too crazy.

Holy Guacamole! :shock: :shock: :shock: Welp, there goes my weekend! Thanks for this!!!!!! Let me know how it goes haha! I'm really anxious to hear from somebody about the sound after trying the first two mods. My MG-1 sounds amazing now, but I don't want to start any hype about it since I'm biased...

There are 6 connectors on the bottom pcb. If you are talking about the four that are close together (next to the power section on the left), those are the power connectors. It wouldn't make any sense that your synth would work without those connectors. Maybe the caps held enough of a charge for a mo...

Do you have any pots handy you can use to swap out the slider? Even if it's just a standard pot to test it.

**I'm posting this early. Over the next couple weeks I'll be adding more pictures and details. I could use any help I can get for this work in progress. Please correct any errors, add any additional ideas, or any other way to contribute. It's a pretty large project!** The following are all of the m...
