Hey yall...
I had my CS2 mounted in my pete cornish style board (one big wooden enclosure with a lot of effects all together) and powered up and working great just a few days ago. then i had a Short on the board involving a piece of shielding lodged up under the pots of the Dynacomp which somehow shorted out the whole board. I was...and am...using a One Spot adaptor to power everything, but it is running to a power/ground distribution board inside my unit. When the short was there...the OneSpot would power on/off/on/off repeately trying to come up to voltage (as explained by someone else) and left me with a ton of choppy NOISE with each pedal, including the CS2. Once i found the short, everything else powered back up no problem, no damage, even my CE2...which is powered the same way. Also, it is important to note that at one point after this all happened, i DID get the LED to light back up, but then it went down again...
As i have not yet wired a momentary switch for the CS2, i was simply touching the correct wire to hte enclsoure which would turn the unit on and light up the LED. The unit is wired to a 3PDT switch using the inputs and outputs, and all the grounds that were orginally wired to the input jack are simply wired to the star ground distribution.
Now, after the short, i cant get the unit to turn on. No LED, nothing. When the 3PDT is turned on, i get silence. I have checked all connections etc. Could it have somehow fried?? How could I test this? |

Hi Sjaltenb
Have you tried it with a battery?
If the the battery gets hot, or it still doesn't work,
than you many have a fried protection diode/zenner, inside the CS-2
I don't have the schematic with me, so I can't remember if it's a power diode or zener.
Christo might be around later, he also has a schematic, & it's daylight for him.
Just remembered...
check D1 it's next to the black compressor IC with legs only on one edge/side.
Yhere is another diode to check, but Christo will have to help you out on that one.
Good luck
Regards Dr. Bob |
