major surgery on a @digitechfx Vocal 300 courtesy Justin Anderson #🎛 love the #2001 back to the future LED display. xlr jacks were dead, but they just needed to have the solder re-melted (whew i feared one of the little opamp chips on the board with them died) had to replace most of the pots because the numbers super-jiggled, AND the little dome switches for the pedals were shot. i only had 4-pin buttons so they had to replace the old 2-pin ones diagonally. No autotune on this old fella, and hella termite whammy pedal style pitch shifting. #🎚 do u remember these Audio DNA chips? this thing was made in my graduation year and it’s such a sick color so i feel a bond with it. plus it’s nice to have a dedicated thing to eq, comp, delay, and reverb my garbage vocs before the looper. my evolving hardware performance rig is all about as many mastering layers as practical on a live arrangement. oh also the foot control wah kinda pedal on it uses a Hall Effect sensor instead of a pot to wear out, that’s really smart, magnet sensor time. aaaaand i used center-detent pots, that click in the middle, which didn’t end up lined up with the exact middle, more like between 49 and 50, so i don’t recommend this. 😂
