Thanks! Just a little video I had leftover that I thought would be a nice thing to watch.

Yeah, besides the buttons getting oxidized crud the unit was perfect inside. I play-tested it and it sounded wonderful.

Yes! I wouldn't want to go on tour with one, but if it's in a small studio or whatnot it's perfect!

Thanks! I'm workin' on it!

OH?! I didn't know about that! Probably good stuff inside too!

They can make or break you!

@@greencontact it’s just a song I threw on the clip. I was really just enjoying the weird waveforms it was producing. Someone else mentioned I should do a full vid demo, and I’d like to do that in the future.

@@SydHeresy Yeah realized it the second time i watched it. thank you for answering. yeah i def think you should do a video of that module as it is very interesting. Been thinking of building it.

@@greencontact it’s a worthwhile build! I built mine from a bare PCB, which was a bit challenging, but worth it.

🤔

Dolphins be deadly! Not much of a clout magnet.

Yo! Thanks! I need to record it out!

@@AOTAvids That’s awesome to hear! I have no idea what’s going on either. Just putting one foot in front of the other.

Donghua Jinlong really know their glycine!

They swim among us!

oh wow! That's a good one. Do they do it in "standalone mode" as well or just when hooked up to a console? Really wild that you have two that are doing that. I just looked online and I don't see this issue popping up either. 🤔

The first one did it while connected to a X32 rack, the other was connected to the full size console. They are both intermittent and out of warranty. How can it be setup in stand alone mode or would making it the master clock be another way of saying it?

@@garymaupin676 So you can connect the two snakes together for Standalone Mode. The details are in the manual, but basically you make one the FOH unit so it can control head amps form the Stage unit. I also remember testing the one I worked on with headphones. The unit had a way to select which channel you're listening to. Although I'm not sure it'll matter since it's not REALLY one of the outputs. I am wondering if it's a clock/sync related issue, but it's weird that it only effects the outputs. And super annoying that it's random. As far as me working on them goes: I highly recommend a local repair shop over the trouble and expense of sending to me. Often the manufacturer will have a list of places nearby for you to use. If that's still not an option for ya, we can figure out sending it here.

@@SydHeresy O.K. that makes sense. I'll do some testing and try to "trigger" the condition.

@@garymaupin676 yeah, please let me know how things work out. I’m pretty interested in what’s going on.

Haha! Thanks! Right after I made this clip he put a new video out and I was kinda pleased that I was pretty close.

Oh boyyy, just opened mine up and the cap on C23 seems to have exploded 😮

Oh boy x3! all the electo caps have crapped out and ruined all but one solder pad 😅time to find the schematic and see if I can’t work something out

Oh no! The schematic is easy to find. it's listed as Service Notes. If the damage is just limited to the pads touching the cap then you should be in good shape as they're pretty simple. But I did have some corrosion that ate at an adjacent cap. It killed the cap, but the pads were fine.

it's pretty gnarly sounding

it's one of my favorite shirts!!!!

@@risahu1 oh no! Yeah, WD40 is pretty terrible with electronics. It’s probably all salvageable though. Just a lot of work. Syntaur will have any parts that need replacing.

@@SydHeresy thanks

There's only three SMD caps inside the machine and they're probably all bad. I have a page for it in caps.wiki that has all the information. caps.wiki/wiki/Boss_DR-660 Here's a link to the stream where we worked on it. There's indexes to skip around. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn3PeISFocxpbLs

@@SydHeresy ah, thank you so much! i thought the SMD caps were the super teeny tiny little brown rectangular ones. that link is extremely helpful, this might be just what i need

shhhhh! don't spoil mah secrets!

So much heat!

😁

I've been playing it fast and loose! It doesn't always work, but it's so much faster than grabbing my tweezers back and forth.

@SydHeresy This is a neat looking game, it looks crazy realistic. I'm a 94F so I worked on actual circuit boards with those exact components, so it was just crazy to see lol.

​@@SydHeresy oh my god im so retarded lmfao i didn't think it was real because of the lack of a fumigator, they always made us use those things and if they caught them off when soddering it was D E A T H lol. I started watching some of your other content and felt like a clown 😭

Yeah, I went a bit too fast on the first joke, but I felt like I turned it around at the end 🤷‍♂️

That's what the Denver DA called me!

Thanks! The squeaks are neat!

There just so many knobs!!!

Exactly!!

😂😂😂

Nein.

😂 Glad you bore that well 😂 it's a bold look, I respect you for it 😉

You gotta rock what you got!

Thanks so much!!! Top-down is my new normal!

😂 I was seriously confused when I finished. I’d thought I’d wired it backwards or something, but I rechecked everything and it outputs as expected. 🤷‍♂️ Edited: typo

Thanks! More on the way!

You don’t say….

I’m so sorry!!! I hope you can forgive me! Have you tried turning it off and back on?

I drank a whole gallon of espresso right before! 😂 the whole thing took about three and a half hours to do. I have another kit I bought that I’ll do the same with here.

THE FLUX MUST FLOW!

Sacrifices had to be made....

There's no such thing as "too much flux." I find people who say that are just using terrible flux and don't know it yet. Go get some Amtech 559 or 213 and you'll see what I mean. The bottom PAD, not plate, is fine due to all that flux carrying the heat. See, when you use a lot of flux it makes the soldering job way easier. In fact if I could fill a hot tub with flux, setup a soldering station at the bottom of the hot tub with a rebreather for me, I would still bring a syringe of flux down just in case I needed more. It's that good!

I think it could use a little more. I love soldering in a river of flux!

@@SydHeresy You have parts floating in flux. It's slowing you down.

@@fixingmania 🤣 Thanks for the lolz! I needed that! 😂

Thanks! I need to do more stuff like this.

It was like the booze and ketamine kicked in at the same time 😂

such a good feeling!

Hey mate! I built that Shruthi for a client and haven't seen it since. If I remember it right I think it's a side-effect of using pots to change the values. If the system detects a voltage change from say envelope 1 attack it'll display it. So if the pot is on the cusp of the next value it'll cause the system to detect it as a change. I am drawing pretty heavily from memory though. If that is the case I wonder why no one has made a modified FW that would wait for two value increments to change instead of one. Doesn't seem like a lot of work.

@@SydHeresy Ahh, that makes perfect sense. After reading what you wrote, any parameter that popped up on the screen, I tried adjusting it a tad and that seemed to make it go away. Surprised the firmware wasnt updated like you mentioned. I am also surprised there wasnt more mention of this online. I search and searched and never saw anything about this. Thanks for taking the time to reply back, really appreciate it!

@@justindpeak No problem! It's funny, now that you mentioned it I thought it was wild that I couldn't find any mention of this issue either. I kinda half-thought it was a mistake in the build, but hearing you had the same issue brings me back to thinking it's just a bug in making it an XT
