Wow, I just hit Gold Member status. Do I get a free Boss pedal of my choosing for that?

Whoohoo, your price is... a dancing banana 
Compared to most forums, the status limits here are very high. Platinum is on 1000  |

A dancing banana? That sounds like a good name for one of those fancy "boutique" pedals that are reworked clones and cost a couple of hundred dollars. I wonder what kind of pedal it would be...
"Dancing Banana" overdrive
"Jumping Greenie" phaser
 "Red Banger" single-band parametric EQ

 The Trotting Llama Delay (applies to shipping as well)
The Blue Barf Flanger
 The Red Faced Ring Modulator
 The Rolling Head RotoSim
and, of course
 The Machine Gun Tremolo (square wave only)

Very nice.
I'm still pondering your PH-2. I don't have that schematic yet, but normally, turning the trim pots will not damage a pedal. What was the story there again? What does it do now?
Grace and peace,
Steve

Basically it sits on my desk now, belly up! ha ha ha!
It has "the" lowest of signal levels when engaged and the effect is barely audible.
It's just another on the list of pedals that I've sacrificed to the gods of the mod. Oh well.
I've replaced it with a newer PH2 that I will not open up. 
Think you could fix it? On second thought... Maybe it's become legendary enough that I should leave it broken. Otherwise it wouldn't be "my dead PH2" any more. |

Yes if you fix it, how can we use it to warn others about the dangers of trimpot tweaking.
 Bad horsie Wah?

Well, as much as I'd like to perpetuate the idea that tweaking your pedals might kill them, in reality it shouldn't. The problem is, alot of those pots can only be set properly with a 'scope, so once people start turning them, they never get them back right. So, I'm all for people staying out of their pedals if they don't know what they're doing, but I'd be surprised to see a circuit that was designed in such a way that turning a trim pot destroyed something.
Anyway, I'd be willing to fix that thing for you just to get a look at it and see what failed. I'm not looking for a PH-2, but I'd love to hear it. Since you are close, it would only cost $3.85 to ship it USPS Priority. Let me know.
Grace and peace,
Steve

Oops. Had a little trouble with the "edit" and "reply" icons.
I'm just trying to pad my postings number so that I can catch up to your 500.
