i'm using my PS-2 since 1990 until it ceased to work a few days back. I surf around for help and thank goodness to find this site.

My problem lies on a few wires inside the pedal which ripped off from its original soldered point.

Can anyone help me to figure out which wire goes where so that i won't fry that pedal.

The affected wires were BLACK,PURPLE,GREEN,ORANGE AND WHITE. I think those wires were for the input, output and tuner port of the pedal.

I would appreciate if anyone can help me to sort out the problem. i just can't play without it. Please help. THANK YOU..

I don't have a PS-2 to compare to. Anybody out there willing to open theirs up?

Grace and peace,

Steve

No PS-2 and no schematic I'm afraid.

I happen to have a PS-2 (although I'm somewhat reluctant to open up any pedal with a double-decker circuit board), and I'm pretty sure I can obtain access to a copy of the PS-2's service manual. work has kept me insanely busy lately, but I'll try to take a look this weekend. is there any chance you can post a picture of the inside of your pedal here, to get an idea of the scope of the problem?

I just sold mine, but it hasn't shipped out yet. Let me try to find a few minutes to open it up and get back to you.

uzkezbalakh, sorry about the delay. I didn't open up my PS-2 (yet), but did look at an (incomplete) schematic. it does not mention wire color codes, but maybe the info below will help:

* input jack -- tip feeds terminal no. 19 on the analog board (which then feeds R1); sleeve is grounded to no. 18 on the analog board

* output jack -- tip originates from terminal no. 9 on the analog board (which in turn is fed by R27); sleeve is grounded (to the casing?)

* tuner out jack -- tip originates from terminal no. 1 on the ET board (fed by an op amp, type unknown, with C1, R1, and R2 on its output side); sleeve is grounded (to the casing?)

good luck!

i once opened my PS-2 and all those wires and stuff just told me to put them back together and don't ever mess with them.

Hi guys, I also have the same wiring problems... Sir pawnshop, do you happen to know where terminals 2 and 3 (on the ET board) connects? as well as terminals 1, 2,3 and 4 on the analog board as well... the thing that remains unwired is the battery (+ and -), the LED (+, - and ground) and the switch (two terminals)... thanks in advance!

Hi ssanyee & Guys

In the second picture,
the wires are left to right, the resistor colour code.

0 Black
1 Brown
2 Red
3 Orange
5 Green
6 Blue
7 Violet
and the rest are:
8 White
9 Grey - or Gray.

Don't know if any of this is interesting or useful?
Might be worth remembering this if any other wires come off.

Regards Dr. Bob
