<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This post
relates to a tool I saw when I was in the consumer electronics appliance service
sector decades ago. It was elegant with a posh steel case with various lit
buttons and a cute little CRT tube on the left. We techs were told that it's
for checking components characteristics. I thought it was a small scope for
outdoor jobs. I can't remember the brand but the face panel looked approximate
to a Polar T series Fault Locator or Huntron Tracker series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In summer (meaning
when it isn't raining) of 93/94, we were called for a demonstration of the aforementioned
tool by a visiting sales rep of a TMI company. I was intrigued by the demo, especially
amazed when he tested capacitors. Depending on the capacitor value it would
display a variety of round to elliptical figures/patterns. I never knew such a fancy
test could be done on a CRT based equipment. I knew from school about checking
polarized caps with an analog multimeter. Nothing complex but observing the
needle go up and down to indicate a pass but with that fancy tool, it looked
more attractive and intelligently presented.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Long story
short, our company acquired the Component Debugger (the sales rep called it).
Quite awkward considering we've been using that connotation prior for everyone
and everything in our dept. You know, like this bugger, that bugger, you
bugger, in a joking kind of a way. Anyway soon after, I never saw any of us use
the Component Debugger for trouble shooting. To be honest, at the time none of
us understood how aiding it could be if it came to it. We rather had someone
else have a go at it then perhaps teach us how at the end of the day. It's in
our eastern culture, you know, you first, no you first, no by all means please
etc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The fact was we
were all lazy and busy with incoming repairs. We were too comfortable with the presto
digits of the DMM, dry tenors of the AF Gen, and revealing show on the Oscilloscope.
Maybe we were too polite to the outsider (salesman) during the demo that we
just nodded concurring the Component Debugger prominence foregoing procurement.
Our Assistant Service Manager did one time admit buyer’s remorse. I’m sure he
got questioned by people upstairs. It was not his fault. The salesman were
indeed resounding in his words gymnastics and jargons. What we should have done
was put both him and his debugger in a room filled of faulty electronics. Fix 5
sets with it then we'll buy and let you go or we'll beat the bugger out of you.
Hehe.</span></div>

after I'd stumbled upon several videos on YouTube that I really understood what

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">After coming to
know how expensive a dedicated Curve Tracer unit is on eBay, I decided to make
one. A science fair version more or less embezzled from old electronic magazines
with countless of designs online. Fairly simple but I am adding my own touches
to make it snobbish and untraceable.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Initially it
must be AC powered (115V or 230V), neat, slender and trifling enough to carry
or ship off. I've always liked Boss pedals so I borrowed the DD-2 theme
(reverse). White font/Blue background on both front/rear panel.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Due to how
minimal components were required, I could select them to be as high street as I
could fork it. For longevity reason.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I
designed the circuit using an online PCB software that associates with a
renowned PCB fabrication company in China. The website is well-organized with real-time
manufacturing updates, overall cost was affordable, and shipping was faster
than quick. Their PCB build is spotless and professionally presented. Of course
with anything inaugural, mistakes did happen on my end. Errors like undersized
through holes, too tiny tracks, etc. You can say I was too excited to make it
happen in haste. Not to worry as later I did a better revision.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It's definitely
way better than making the board myself. I had my fair share of making my own
PCB with UV light then developing and acid etching it in 2009/2010. It was no
easy chore. Look at the preamp example below. It's simply too ugly even to give away.
Furthermore Ace Hardware stopped selling Muriatic Acid since 2012, I think. A
show stopper but blessing in disguise. No more reeking the kitchen and toilet.
Those whom done it would know the whiff I'm talking about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I presume in the finite realm of guitar world,
recycling old practical electronics ideas into the market is okay, well
sometimes if the parts are still obtainable. Bootlegging, hot-rodding, and giving
it a prettier paintwork are common attempts by DIYer's or large private limited
co. post 2000. The master is none other than you know who. I know I'm late to
the party but may I join you sir? It's a rhetorical question, by the way. Pedal
inflation? Yes, it’s a reality, but I chose to pretend it does not exist. Again
as I said before, it’s finite. Audio processing circuit has its boundaries.
Nothing really is identifiable beyond eleven except the pointer on the knobs.
With components technology continuing to be smaller biennially, the cycle would
still be completed and repeated within ten years or less but as each decade
enters, there’ll be spawns of fresh ears searching for that elusive true drive
none digital tones built by someone in a garage or room. From where I stand, at
least consumers' is not finite. Globalization? Why not. So yes, enough yapping.
We'll have to wait and see what happens. It's always the dollar factor. The
bank balance will decide. I digress.</span><br />

Debugger is a prohibitive version as well. It is an external add-on gizmo to

googling, we wouldn’t want to infuriate or infringe any entity in the Firearms
sector. I do not want to be in their SIGHT (pun intended). Instead, I shall
call mine the Octo-Curve 2. I don't believe it's taken. Not yet at this time.
Why 2? Because number 1 and 3 are still in development.. Do you have a better
name than the Octo-Curve 2? Do suggest below. The Octo-Curve connection explanation

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Basically, what’s
on the back plugs to XY or channel 1 and 2 on the scope, what's in front plugs
to the device under test? Yes! To facilitate good horizontal and vertical
display, some tweaking may be needed at each volts per division rotary switch
of each channel at the scope. On the Octo-Curve, the left knob is the Vari-Volt
for width adjustment (12VAC to 0VAC). The 3 way Vari-Amp selector allows
current steps from 1mA, 12mA, 55mA</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">at
12VAC. Apply V=I/R formula when playing with the Vari-Volt. By default it’s
wired to 1mA, 12mA and 120mA. I've included two extra unwired current loads
inside. Wire it according to requirement... All these tech talks are unexciting
so let's debug some common components to see its characteristic on the scope.
For this demo I'm using my shifty eyes people’s power GW Instek 20 MHz analogue
oscilloscope. Of course, on Digital Oscilloscope is do able also but the display
isn't going to be pleasurable nor prompt.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Continuing on, I did an internal inspection and there's
cracks on the red selector plastic embodiment. What I'm going to say will sound
blunt but it's appears that there's a design flaw. The DIP switch is deeper
than it should. Instead of being flush with the metal cut out. The purpose of
the cut out is to hold firm the switch aside from the obvious. As it is the dip
switch would move even with a feathers touch hence what more on shredding
fingers. Yes, this explains it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

supply. I wonder who did this poor design for who here. A or B or an unknown
source. But I try to look on the bright side. Its RM50 (parts and labour) for
my bench that’s isn’t so bad at all. That’s just one, imagine 100. That could
get me closer to a Keysight 100Mhz four channel scope. Thanks Caline for
supporting the servicing sector. Keep up the </span><s style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">bad </s><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">good work.</span></div>

and how many stars to give this power supply. I never expect such questions to
begin with but I told him the fucking enclosure almost cut me too and I had it deburred,
sanded and polished all 6 edges of the aluminium case. He was pleased to hear it
and that was it for the phone conversation. Ada yang lebih penting untuk
difikirkan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

kind of repairs. For this writer, redundancy is imminent and my worst fear.
Embracing more tools such as microscope and good hot air station are simply
isn't viable. There's also the difficulty of attaining such documentation plus
understanding the inner workings of device under repair.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">The nature of this work certainly brings some memory of my consumer electronics servicing era. For your information I never work for Pioneer
Authorized Center.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The DCZ-94 is a semi separate system from Pioneer. The
basic package consist the Main amplification with built in twin cassette decks
and a matching pair of speakers. Tuner, CD and TT player were sold separately I
believe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">You can tell its 90s from the many buttons with firm
boxy but stylish exterior. If I'm not mistaken this was also the time when many
manufacturers began to put reverb/echo effects in Midi HiFi's, Borrowing ideas
from THX, Dolby AC-3 technology trend of the time. On the other hand, I found
old HiFis’ (70s, 80s and 90s) to be well designed compared to post 2000 toys</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The main problem of the DCZ was no power. I managed to
get it to power up by luck. Then it went blank unable to be powered back. The
standby light is active though. I hope it’s just dry joints at the power
supply.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The first thing I did was to clean the unit inside
out, it’ll make it easier to look for dry joint, blown or leaked components,
cracked board etc.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">As I was blowing dust from the unit, the voltage
selector cap fell off. The cap is part of a rotary switch assembly. In it are
two leaf contact connecting the selected AC mains to the primary. The internal locking
nib appears to be brittle and snapped off. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">By now it’s obvious what the culprit is but without
seeing an example, it’s hard to know which contact inside the switch goes
where. There’s more wires going through the voltage selector heading to the
primary as this is a global compatible model. I don’t think such a replacement
part exist today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">My attempt was to hardwire the mains bypassing the
redundant voltage selector. I don’t think the owner will move to Japan or North
America ever.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I began determining each primary input wire with a DMM
to know which one is for 100, 120, 220 and 240VAC. I measured the winding resistance.
Low ohms is for low voltage and vice-versa. I also used a step down transformer
so I don't blow things up at first go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The drive belts in the tape mechanism had melted. The
left cassettes door/lid had broke at the rack and pinion side. I did emailed Hwee
Seng Singapore inquiring whether they kept some old stock parts. It’s no longer
available. No worries. The owner was fine with it as his father isn’t going to
use it, further more it belongs to his father. His father just need it to work
at least. I guess it has some sentimental value to the family. Looking back at
the family youth when he bought it. Fully understood this sir.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It's been a while since I put my fingers in acoustic
preamp overhaul. Somehow this thing don't break down that easy but when they
do, either buy a new preamp (size may vary) or good fluke finding the schematic.
I bet my Hakko 981 the makers won't provide schematics. Not a lavish wager I must agree. On the upbeat it's good
to know tight quality control is an essence in the pre-amp fabrication. I like
to believe they deleted schematics files after a product became best seller to
focus on the next add-ons, design, next gen etc. And the cycle repeats. That ladies and gentlemen, is
no doubt a big pile of pixey turd.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The Ibanez preamp on, wait.

to worry about preposition. Do forgive when you find any being inappropriate.
As long as it doesn't interfere with my iron, it's fine. Let's continue... This
AW preamp had some loud coughing and farting issues. Sometime startling too. Battery
was fine and there's jolt present at where it needs to be. The opamp is good.
Not open nor short. Volume pot is good. There's cancer emerging at two spot of the board. It's </span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwyM2GvSXf4"><span style="color: yellow;">Koffin Kanser</span></a></i></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">.
The cancer just beginning to soften the pads/tracks. Good thing this pesakit was admitted
early, otherwise it will be tough for me to tell what is/are tie to what and
where. Just to let you know, I am the best person for this kind of work because
I'm good at only what I think I know. Lol and cough....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I ordered some high grade capacitors to supplant all
the tin cans SMD caps. The minute any of those Aluminium Cap go leaky then the
rest must go. What I meant by high grade earlier was it can't be bought just
like that. Apparently reason is above money. I had to answer a set of questions
sent by the manufacturer. It’s part of a <i>“Catch All Export Policy”</i> set by the Japanese
Government. Well now, catch me then and deport me to <b><i><a href="https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3003.html"><span style="color: yellow;">Akihabara</span></a></i></b> constituency please
lol. I was a bit vexed in case they couldn’t understand my essay than getting the
caps. I don't mean to offend any Japanese readers as I myself have trouble comprehending
my own composition here. My excuse to all Japanese citizen. After 72 hours, permission
to acquire caps were granted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The aforementioned caps are the through hole style. I
thought I go with the imaginative approach this time as well as at the maximum expense
of the user wallet. Hehe. I cut the leads to a specific length and align each
carefully prior soldering. Looks crude compared to the stock but it held up
good and does the "preamping" great.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Gone are the cough and fart from it (This was six month ago). In case you're
asking where is the bottom metal lid for the preamp? It's like that when I
opened it or had it went missing from past repairs. It looks to me no-one had
been in there before. Since there isn't any RF noise disturbance, I think it's
deliberate. I've transcribed too much already. Prevention is better than cure. God willing, see you on the next
gig.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Somehow I like to have good assumption towards Gibson for
those minor disorder. It's like they are trying to send a message. Sounds like</span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
"Dear buyer, did you just bought this? Now take the Gibson [insert model]
to your tech, see if he could make it play or look better and yes, you have to
pay for it yourself of course. Despite our guitar costing two arms, know this.
Only a Gibson is good enough!"</i><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In this model Henry was kind enough to put Chinacraft input
jack instead of the usual Switchcraft. But Thanks old buddy, you know I always
stock Switchcraft input jack for such unexpected circumstance. I didn't take
out the toggle switch to see as I have good faith that you didn't Chingcraft it
too. I can't stock up that part because it would be too lavish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">As for the users shocking experience. I did </span><s style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">interrogate</s><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
asked the client about his gears at home. He told me his setup never change and
of all of his guitars, this is the only guitar that stunned him all night long.
I've checked the ground and all are good. I couldn't sense anything shocking
with my amp aside from the shocking pretty finish. I did play some AC/DC tunes
just to be sure. Perhaps I should've played </span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqAOB143KqY"><span style="color: yellow;">"Electric Youth" by Debbie Gibson </span></a></i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">, probably then I would've feel something.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I found many shocking stories that has nothing to do
with the problem. You know, the obvious. Like shocking MSRP, quality, CEO, Debt
etc. Some thread comments hint the problem is external rather than at the guitar
itself. Another thread recommends adding two passive components in parallel. I
will try the latter when I get the components.</span><br />

happens to match with SD color codes. Colour codes conversion always made me dazed and confused. I rather read resistors colour band if you don’t mind. Hehe.
Every pickup maker have their own colour code for the hot, ground and the in
between. We can only hope that all pickup maker would agree on one standard colour
codes. That is Green/Black is Hot or Ground. Red/White is series or parallel.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My approach with this new to me work is as like in any
new wiring in the past. That is, read it slowly and carefully. Taking all the
time I need. This is not the MotoGP of soldering. It helps to have a bit of
imagination of how it should turn out. Do a bit first here and there then watch
YouTube viral video for hours then come back with some clear idea about how to
arrange the rats nest.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I first tried a Laney IRT60212 in 2012. I help my
student bought the amp from the shop I was teaching at. I only got few minutes of
test run with the amp before we carry it to his vehicle. Tone wise it’s not
bad. At the time it was retailing at RM3600. That was that and I really shouldn’t
be writing about tone and price as those are subjective matter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This IRT60-212 is from another client. It’s in for a retube,
bias and circuit board check. The stock pair 6L6GC Rubies were switched to
JJ's. The send/return gain slide switch has a recurring contact issues. It
would sometime cut the sound to less or mute. I only managed to dismantle
and serviced the guts. Retubed, biased, serviced and done. Let’s go to my un-academic
review.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The internal layout is good. Beefy output transformer
and toroidal power transformer (good for low noise). Components silhouette are
clearly outline with numbers and values (sometime) on the board preventing misplacement.
Boards are arranged according to section of operation with random zig zagging of detachable connectors. The abundance of connectors allow techs to take
out any father, mother, son and daughter board for re-soldering or close checks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">At
this point, I foresee some tech friendliness for trouble shooting or beguessing
through. The input section is shielded with a sheet of formed aluminium. Great
work. The screws holding it are the same shitty ones like found in the </span><a href="http://yustech.blogspot.com/2018/09/laney-vc15-110.html" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;">VC15R</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">. It's
a one-time screw deal. Once you un screw them then you're screwed. Lesson
learned and yes, I replaced all three. The digital reverb circuit is merged with
the send/return board as like the VC15R. I’m beginning to see a pattern here.
In case of a board replacement, the reverb wouldn’t take out any key circuitry
with it. Those send/return and switching jacks are cheap enough and probably
had been included in the MOQ order.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The rear metal grill shows Laney concern of pest inhabitants.
Anything bigger than gecko will not pass through. The speakers frame black
paint appeared flaky. This is either due to cheap paint, inadequate coats or
heat emission from the power tubes. My assumption is poor ventilation from the
cabinet? Speaking of it, the top layer is of cheap particle board. Do not put
cold drink there or leave the amp in a dark damped room. The sides are </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">layered plywood. Light but strong, thank
goodness. The screws at the back are a joke. The two wood panels are held by
will power and tight vinyl coupling. The screws are too short to bite on the
mating block. I'm surprise to the fact this didn't fall apart in transit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The send/return switch is a shitty add-on. First is
the type. It’s commercially unobtanium. It has too many legs/pins for its
purpose. Only some of it gets used in operation with the rest acting as holder
to the circuit board. What the pluck? Okay, I see now why it was chosen. Secondly
is the lever length. It's un-practically too long but too short only to be
flush with the chassis. It should have protrude a bit for the user to easily
flip it. In this one, few times prior, we(I and user) thought we've slide it in
place when it actually didn't. We had to resort to a screwdriver which is a touchy thing
for some. Unless you have an iron heart inside you then don't touch that switch with a
screwdriver. As a matter of fact don’t look and don’t even point
at it. Leave it as how it was from China for they know what's best for you! But
then again it is quiet an important feature to be overlooked. What a plucking
genius were the folks at Laney. I just don't understand why they put it there in
the first place. Friggin just screw the switch to the bloody chassis, like the
old school way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The bias test point is accessible from the top vent
but then not the bias pot though. It too deep inside. So I unscrew the top four
fasteners. It did not budge even a bit. What kind of industrial epoxy did they
sealed the chassis with? I proceeded opening the side handle and what do you
know, two more screws at each end. A bloody inconvenience of the highest order.
Someone please inform Laney that MDF board isn’t good after several screwing
around. Yes, tell them to move the bias pot right under the top vent too. It would make

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">From 2001 to 2007 I was an avid radio listener.
I did it because my guitar teacher told me that it's good for ear training and
finding keys, chords etc. Due to how random the airplay can be, I have to agree but I found that it's hard to improvise over RAP music. Nonetheless Radio is way more cheap than CDs,Black Disc and Cassettes (Do people play cassettes now?). Hehe<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I stop listening like I used to since 2008. I guess I was too busy with things in life that I ignored the power button.This is my third HiFi system. It consist of remnants of my 90's system consolidating with 2005/06 Cash Converters hunts. It gets move around in my flat to become</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> a foot stool</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> or put whatever on it</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I know myself too well that I would leave
it untouched for the next 10 years so I thought I bring it to work. At least I’ll
try to keep it tidy for me and my customers’ entertainment. It’s a good
conversation starter too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I've been wanting to own a real bench scope ever since
I touched one in school. Back then our science lab had a bunch of Leader
Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO). I can't remember the model. It had a lot of
rotary and push switches. Some of the knobs have secondary push pull function
like guitar pots. Without a model number and prices with shipping still north of USD200, the
search for that Leader scope never came to pass.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I bought my very first scope on 7thJan 2010. A
Velleman HPS10SE. It's a single Channel 10Mhz handheld scope. Sometime a DMM
can’t tell you much, therefore a scope has the aptitude to show volts and speed.
I just noticed the Velleman display looks like the old Nokia snake game, however
it does the job fine with numeric read out. The Velleman is a solo channel
scope. Due to its floating ground nature. It will continue to be my shop slogger.
I think I’ve gotten away with many magic smoke situation with it. Unknowingly
of course.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">On the bench are an Analog and Digital Oscilloscopes,
two Function Generators and a Frequency counter. Many folds of capability and
buttons from my Velleman. What is an Oscilloscope? Honestly I don't know where
to properly begin. In short, I only know it’s a sick amp pulse or signal detector
like the one in a hospital. It's use to see whether a gear is dead or OFF. What
is a Function Generator? I’m unsure what it is actually but I've used a Signal
and Audio Generator when I was in technical school. I hope those Function Generator
can do what Audio or Signal Gen does. Well… he he. As for the Universal
Counter. Well let just say it was too cheap to be ignored. I recalled using a
Uni Counter to check and align tape speed when I was in serving the Consumer
Appliances Electronic sector. When time permits, I will do a dedicated entry for each item or at least a tear down.</span><br />

Kadang-kala kita mengguna alat tertentu terlalu lama, penggunaan pula padar kadar kadar minima. Alat tersebut pula mempunyai lebihan ciri padanya. Kita menyangka ciri lebihan itu rosak bila ingin mencubanya semula. Kekeliruan boleh berlaku maklumlah kali terakhir penggunaan sepenuhnya ialah sewaktu mencuba dan membeli di bilik pamiran. Sebelum membuat rumusan wujudnya kerosakan, ada baiknya kita merujuk pada buku kendalian. Ini juga boleh dikatakan kali pertama penulis membaca buku kendalian tentang gitar ini.

Ini ialah sebuah Ernie Ball Musicman JPXI 6. Ia didatangi dengan dwi pemungut iaitu Besi Berani dan Ketul Hablur. Tertera juga pada sesawang JPXI 6 ini ditanam wayar fret jenis Besi Tidak Cemar. Sangat licin wayar fret ini dan penulis agak menyukainya. Walaubagaimanapun penulis tidak dapat memberi komentar tentang beza atau kurang lebih nadanya berbanding wayar fret biasa. Saya hanya sempat membelasah kurang dari dua minit. Waktu yang ada diluangkan bersembang dengan pemunya gitar ini. Ya, saya suka bersembang. Hehe.<br />

Secara jujurnya saya belum pernah memasang wayar fret jenis Besi Tidak Cemar. Saya agak merasa khuatir tentang ketumpatan Besi Tidak Cemar itu. Khuatir ia akan menumpulkan kikir dan pemotong Stewmac saya. Pada saya peralatan Stewmac diluar capaian untuk dihentam cuba tanpa pertimbangan waras. Kita bukan lagi di 2011 (USD1 = RM3). Namun begitu saya sedang mencari ulasan terperinci oleh juruteknik di YouTube dan Media Awam.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I first heard about Inter-M in early 2000. Inter-M is
a South Korean corporation. They are well known in the Pro Audio domain. I
think I've serviced some Inter-M from MPSI in 09. I cannot recall what they
were nevertheless I'm going treat this Inter-M as my first encounter. I expect
to see good internal layout and tech friendly connection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This PA9324 is a mono amp or to be precise, a Public
Address amplifier. I noticed how a Public Address (PA) differs to the common Power Amp
(PA). If we look at the rear, we see a set of Banana plug meant NOT for
a speaker but for external power supply. The speaker(s) is instead plug to the
power supply like crimp socket. It indicates voltage between 41V, 70V and 100V. Is
this touch safe? Will it shock if I touch? I think I'll pass. Then
there's the speaker thing. The speaker isn't like the one we all know.
This writer was provided a horn speaker for testing (if it's repaired). The
speaker has a rotary switch for the desired option. That's all I know so far.
It would be hard to recall those info again when the next PA comes in. Whenever that
will be. Hehe. Anyhow,</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I can say this PA9324 is also a gymtronics. It weighs
like a boulder and a potential back breaker. I felt like I'm carrying teenager
yustech up the steps. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Most of the weight is from the power transformer. Beefy
as it so and there's two of them. One is for mains and the other is an output
transformer. Like a tube amp to a limited degree. There's another a small input
transformer on the main board. It does differs inside too as much as it is
outside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The inside layout is modular. Well-spaced for
ventilation or to probe around. All wire connection are detachable enabling the
power amp block to be pulled out for cleaning. That's good because on top the
weight, you don't want to piss the person who is fixing it. Thumbs up Inter-M
board engineers for putting much thought about us small time techs outside of

Yes, its another bass. A six stringer. This is an Ibanez SR1006EFM. I always thought all Prestige series are made in Japan but not this one though. I guess at one point in time this was not economical to be made by Hoshino's home contractor. I'm not sure now how many Prestige models were made by Cort but if its good then its good right? Yes it is.<br />

The built of this SR1006EFM is extremely good. I like commend Bartolini for using steel base plate as it would shield against pickup warping. The preamp is not Bartolini though. I'm guessing its something from Cort. Its quiet powerful that it almost destroyed my speaker to pieces. Will be more careful when dealing with active bass after this especially a Prestige.<br />

Nothing much to do here other than the usual clean-up, set-up and intonation. Plays very well that I almost forgot its a six string. So I think I like to try seven string bass after this. Anyone has any for me to fix? Hehe. My apology for such short composition. I'm busy.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I was looking
for something on my shelf and notice I have this so I guess another bass repair
entry postpone. I thought I give it some scrubbing plus I think it would a
great post in its own right, maybe it would help shoot up the used price a bit.
I'm not in any way a collector but if my bench could gain from the flip then
why not. From my recollection, I bought this Boss PD-1 foot stool as is
sometime in 2000. The unit was already in dilapidated condition. It's also
missing two indicator on the foot plate (I just found that out today as there
was no google back in Y2K). It's was the last time I had a peek inside as well.
I did evoked how impatient I was to get home and plug it after I paid for it.</span></div>

was disenchanted back then. I thought it'll sound heavier than MT-2. No it
didn't. That's what happen when you buy pedal with your eyes instead of ears. I
couldn't figure out how the foot pedal operate. I thought it would have some
mechanical resemblance to Jim Dunlop Wah. I thought of making it as Wah but No
it does not cater for that at all.</span></div>

wise, the structure presented future multi-role prospect. Unfortunately for BOSS, the Rocker series didn’t take off to expectation. For obvious reason of course. The guts consist of
4 PCB's (Father, mother, son and daughter board). The father board attached to
the pots. The mother board populates the most components. The son board is the DC
step up converter attached to the DC Jack and the daughter board is mounted
vertical, it has what I believe is an optocoupler to take a peek at your balls?
I like to know what this technically does other than what said but I can't. There's
a Japanese description about it on the leaflet but my guess is as good as

problem with this PD-1? Gladly yes, this pedal do not disengage. It just turns
on as soon as the jack is inserted. I've check the heel switch it seems to be
good. There isn't a Boss PD-1 service manual FREELY available after 41 years.
With information at your fingertips, I never thought my search would turned
blank. I was kind of looking forward to square the calibration while at the
same time fixing it. Let’s hope the service notes will be available by 2050. I
know you engineers out there are giggling at this idiot for needing a schematic
for this. In case you don't know, I LOVE SERVICE MANUAL and I collect them too.
PDF format favoured please. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The ON/OFF
switch at the heel is link to a Logic NAND gate IC. Since I don't see the
typical Boss switching transistor present, that makes the TC4011BP high on my suspicious
list. I don’t have the part yet so I hope there will a part II to this balls
peeper PD-1.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Come to think
of it now, it doesn’t sound that bad at all especially to this ageing pair of lobes.
It’s indeed thicker than the DS-1 without over doing it. I can appreciate the
practicality of quick boost and return. The size undeniably has no place in today’s
mini to micro pedal trends. I don't see guitarist using this shield armour on
the road unless he likes it that much and don't mind explaining its operation
to every joker who ask about it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sex drivers, socket drivers whatever it is, it's all
good stuff to me but never think for a minute that you will complete all of it
like a PC game. No sir for you will do it again and again. It's all about stages.
For example at stage one, it's buying only the size need for work. Stage II is
when you need to add few more just in case. Stage III is when for no reason,
you want to complete the Metric and Imperial rainbow from a particular make and
model. Stage IV is when you want several rainbows on the shelf while hunting
down for used, vintage or discontinued tools, another name for stage IV is also
known as a collector/hoarder. Stage IV carriers can impede us bargain hunter
from owning used tools that were once expensive when new.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I recently upgraded to stage II. The upgrade was
inevitable as it really bothers me when I don't have the appropriate size. By
the way I know about those 99 in 1 box interchangeable tool bit type. Yes, they
are convenient but to me it is an inconvenient in disguise. I do not envy
swapping drive bit because the bit itself isn't that much bigger than a guitar
pick, I sure loose them easily. I prefer something that permanent off the
factory. It must have its own handle with integrity and accountability. At this
age I prefer looking at a colour or embossed/stamped number on the
tools than looking at 99 plural bits that look alike with each other. I feel in
the long run, I'm well reimburse by such singular tool design. Furthermore I
want to be seen by my customer's to be professionally presented and not a cheap
skate. lol</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">My recent pasar road adventure fruited those yellow
handles socket wrench before you. I do feel it would've been nicer if it was
all from the same make but the different make is actually a convenient in
disguise. At least I know what I'm grabbing at first sight. As far as guitars
and amp work concern, I believe the collection is complete. From now on, come whatever
musical gear you are through my door for I am battle ready to take it apart or
to tight it up. As long as it's Metric of course. Hehe.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">However I've yet to complete my Imperial socket
wrench. These aren't commonly use in this part of the world. It only gets use
when I dismantle something from USA, Liberia and Myanmar (imperial standard
countries). The only local place I know that sells imperial size socket wrench
is Ace Hardware. By the way thank you for opening a few here. I have to confess
I had made an unavoidable mistake buying socket wrench one at a time before I
realised that the one or two I missed are inside a set on Ace Hardware shelf.
Those can’t be sold as loose and its sure is damn expensive to be doing it
again now. Well what could I do, at the time, when you need it then you need
it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">However I like to point out that some Metric and
Imperial can crossover to the oppose territory. For example 7/16 can work on
11mm nuts. 14mm can work 9/16 nuts. I don't condone this but it works.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">What about sex drivers? Why not. Those are pretty too.
Did you know old Kahler Tremolo uses odd size socket fasteners? Good thing one
time I was prepared. I hope the Metric vs Imperial war will end soon.
Technology would move at a congruent tangent. No more conversion chart, app and
less use of the caliper. Wouldn't it be better?</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Look below to understand what I mean.</span></div>

Let's go the shit part first shall we. During my initial setup work, I found the second fret to be higher causing terrible buzz at the first fret. I can now concur Ibanez contract builder slept on the job (during this one). Then they raised the bridge so that the buzz couldn't be detected in store. What the ...... You think no one would know? Jilake.<br />

To me its not a big deal when compare to such things like twisted neck, low quality bridge that do not want to return to pitch. Those you really have to write back and return it for an exchange. But anyway, thank you Ibanez for letting me finish your shoddy QC job. I really can't complain when I'm now RM250 richer. Hehe. Keep the fret flaws coming ya.<br />

According to the official spec, the body is Meranti. I believe this is local in both here and Indonesia. I didn't find anything bad about it in fact I like the raw black finish with contrasting white binding. Lets hoard this wood so one day we could export it at a premium price. Hehe. The pickups are nicely direct mounted suiting the metal looks theme. I dislike pickup ring for two reasons. One, they look ugly. Two, It sometime used for hiding messed up routing. The pickup routing in this one is super sharp and clean. Thumbs up to the button pusher and sharp router bits.<br />

The electronics is tidy but still behind most LTD. I noticed one easily overlooked improvement at the middle pickup. The pole pieces for G and B string are lower than normal. I do not know whether its purposely done to give more picking room or to rid those horrible G overtones. Which ever the reason is, its another thumbs up for that.<br />

As for the bridge, what can I say. Forget the rest. The Edge Zero II w/ZPSfe is simply the best Tremolo System in the RM2000 category. Enough said. Goodbye.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">After Boss DS-1, I think everyone would agree that the
MT-2 is no doubt the most recognizable pedal in history. Though MT-2 was a bit
late to the party nevertheless it managed to pick up sales traction
for since the 90s. It continues to become the savior of affordable high gain
for us commoners. If the Boss Metal Zone was an album, it would be on Billboard 100 all the time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But like old guitars vibe. The old is gold MT-2 myth had
started to sprout a bit a while back. Whether that's true or not is besides the
point. Anyone says old MT-2 is better must be given a slap or two on the head. Used
MT-2 should not even pass beyond RM250. We must suppress these speculator from
pushing up old pedal prices. Don't delay, slap one today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I noticed some foreign components on the board.
There's a couple of small LEDs and several unidentified soldered caps. I
believe this MT-2 was modded. The owner bought it used and doesn’t know it too. I
don't know what the mod does to the sound as I don't have a stock one to
compare it with. The mod could be to tame down or flame up the gain?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Speaking of mod job. I get asked by some people about
it. Listen well and Listen carefully. <b>"I DON'T MOD PEDALS AND AMP, I JUST FIX IT AS I CAN"</b>.
But should you intend to buy those great mod kit online but don't like figuring out where to solder them, then I will be glad to offer you my
service. I also like to advice that you should revert back to stock when you
want to sell it. We don't want the buyer to think that he bought a Metal Zone when it’s not in the zone, which could be loosely interpreted as dishonest,not genuine or
fake. Which bring us to a true story.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Years ago a famous local trader (pedal modder and
aerospace engineer) sold a used Ibanez TS9 to my friend. Some weeks after when
they both bumped with each other, the trader started chatting technical stuff
and accidentally told the TS9 he sold to him earlier was modded to TS808. Of
course my friend was disgusted by this un sanction covert operation. First of
all, my friend bought the TS9 because it says TS9 on it not TS808. If he wanted
a TS808 he would've look for that instead. My friend was pissed with the rascal.
He never bought anything from him again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Here's some advice to that trader should he be reading
this (I don't think he/people knows about this blog). Buddy, if you like
modding so much then you should follow what the smart modders do. I don't have to
tell you who they are. I'm sure you heard about them. Anyway, they jumped out
of the mod plane as soon as it took off. They made more money with their own
pedal based on their preferred mod or at least put some indication on pedals
they've modded earlier. The other reason they jump out the plane early is because
they know they couldn't fulfill the request from a particular group of guitarist
on plane earth. Nobody can and Yes, they are everywhere.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">These guitarist would come with tonal remarks like <span style="color: yellow;">“bunyi
berpasir or sandy tones”</span>, <span style="color: yellow;">"tidak cukup lemak or not creamy enough"</span>, <span style="color: yellow;">“tidak
cukup ketat or not tight enough”</span>,<span style="color: yellow;"> “tidak cukup lawas or undigestable tones”</span>, <span style="color: yellow;">“bunyi
macam taik or sounds like shit”</span>, <span style="color: yellow;">“bunyi sengau metal longkang and I can't translate that”</span> etc without ever translating them into logical electronics terms.
How would the person on the other end convert those things into Ohms, Volts, Farads,
Henries etc? He might think that you are back from vacation at some sandy beach
in Thailand where the Tomyam was less creamy then got unpleasant hooker experience,
woke up the next morning offloading a big historical pile of shit with something in your
nose.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Here's something to ponder upon. Concerning the tone
knob on the electric guitar. Its common knowledge when we want the tone </span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">IN</b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">, we roll up (clockwise) the tone
knob right? Wrong and </span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">NO</b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">, we
actually turned the tone </span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">OFF</b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">. To turn
</span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">ON</b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> the tone, we need to roll down (counter
clockwise) the knob so that the filter capacitor engages with the unwanted
highs accordingly. Did anyone notice this? WTF right?</span><br />

I have to say if the bass visitation continues, I'm going to be a bassist. In fact I've been enjoying bass noodling for some years now. No slap work but just fingers. To my ears every notes sound affirming and important to the music without ever needing any external help from distortion,chorus,delay etc. I remember when I was a frequent jammer long time ago, nobody wants to be the bassist. Back then we were young and thin so the bass proportion do not look good on any of us. Once one of us got picked to be the bassist then that's it. He'll be the bassist in our lepak band for life. I was lucky that I practiced so hard to affirm my position as a guitarist. I didn't care which position, lead or rhythm as long as it is guitar then its good. Hehe.<br />

Imagine you had paid several thousand dollars for high end bass guitar. Some years later you send it for setup. The tech found some fret sprout beyond 12th fret. The bass still young to be having such problem. The neck had not fully dried? I remember a factory tour video some years ago where the brand boss/owner told their neck is prep for some weeks before its assemble and ship to countries like Malaysia. Yes, he did mentioned Malaysia specifically. Go figure.<br />

The rest of the electronics looks good and modern. The use of PCB showed the maker understanding about assembly efficiency. The use of Noble pots is great in terms of proven reliability. The output jack supposed to be trust-able brand. Hopefully something from Switchcraft since the bass was made in USA. Instead they put some RSTW brand which you've never heard before. Sounds like someone conjured the name from keypad typo. The nut looks similar to <a href="http://www.earvana.com/"><span style="color: yellow;">Earvana </span></a>whom was sued by you know who. Who won? I do not know what people call this kind of nut now. EBvarna? Suevarna?<br />

All in all the bass is good in terms of overall construction. No twist or any of such thing at the neck. But then again the output jack bothers me though. Would it cost them millions to put in a Switchcraft? I bet they had saved hundred of thousand by choosing a generic. Did I mentioned this bass is couple of thousand dollars? Oh yes I did. <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">What happened was the other genius had wired the
battery plus/minus straight to the pickups at the blend pot. This made the
battery become hot. Good thing the owner sensed it and disconnect the battery.
My guess the pickups coil and blend carbon track had heat up as the battery
did. Any longer the pickup would have imploded. Of course you won’t know it due
to the epoxy resin of the pickup.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">After I did a full inspection, it seems China had
their share of mcgyver in their plant too. These fuckers seem to think all pots
are the same. As long as it turns, it’s right. The stock pots value do not
match the official drawing. For example, The Vol pot is 500k with treble some
more. Lol WTF! Each of the Bass and Treble pot is 100k. Haha. But to be fair
it's not far off. The wires to the bass pot was cut short making it to switch
places with Treble pot. Lucky our local genius didn't snip the wires because
the color codes doesn't match the schematic either old or new. The only correct
pot is the blend pot (25k) but it has cracking problems. After my experience
with a fucking Lazada seller, I'm not going to order it anytime soon. It's
going to be a contact cleaner and rolling it back and forth to engage. The
frets buzzes after 12th fret. The neck angle was wrong. The neck pocket was
CNCed too deep.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">While cleaning the bass, I dip the trus rod cover in
soapy water to clean. Little that I know the chrome plating on the Warwick font
dissolved and disappeared. How ironic was this when I admonished others to not
be a mcgyver and here I'm fucking up a client Bass. Hey, do as I say not I do.
As compensation for my accidental fuck up, I replaced the Vol pot to 25k. Good
thing the owner was very understanding. He just wants his bass to work at the
highest order while I want it to work and clean to the up most order. What can
I say, we all are mcgyver at some point or circumstances in life. That's that

I come to a point in this repair life where some gears that perceived to be good can be bad in reality because of the manufacturing process. This is specially true when it involved wood in instrument making. The fuck up would always come from where less time was spent in the production line. We all understood time is money but bad reputation will definitely cause you to loose more money. I'm not a guitar builder but below are pretty much what I understood from my school. University of Youtube.<br />

Wood drying needs time because you don't want the wood to warp or break after. Sanding needs time because you want the grain to stay firmly intact. Color finishing needs time to sip in and cure. Fingerboard radiusing needs time to better accommodate the following fretting process . Fretwork and leveling needs time because you don't want the bass to buzz in the store or on my bench.<br />

The problems would always comes from under-trained hands at the QC line. I always thought our brethren at this section of the plant could setup the instrument better than us third party tech. I always thought they have expensive straight edge and specially made tools provided by the factory. I always thought they would have impartial decision when clearing of flagging instrument before it leaves the factory. I always thought they see to it that the neck could be adjusted straight without broken buzz then relief it a bit for shipping.<br />

I therefore need to confess to all my readers that what you read here only applies to what repaired here. If I find a particular model is good, I cannot vouch for the rest. From the messy QC job in the end of the day, we techs get paid by the owner for cleaning up factory shit uneven fretwork. Keep doing what you're doing and Thank you Michael Kelly.<br />
