Incredible, how you found that part right off the bat. Yep, it looks exactly like the one on the PCB. I just got off the phone with FullCompass. It might take up to 4 weeks since its not in stock atm. Nevertheless, I ordered the pot and once it arrives I'll let my local instrument shop build it in ...

So, I did the probing this morning successfully. Just to be sure, I probed every location 5 times. Here are my results: O = solder connection with audio X = solder connection without audio (not even a quiet humm, just utter silence) [ ] = capacitor Input switch X O O X O O Input volume O O O X X X ...

About connecting the capacitor solder points, I clearly wasn't thinking straight. By sheer logic connecting the two would of course cause them to short.

Earliest I can get to probing will be after work, so hopefully I'll be able to write you the test result tonight.

Just to double check so I don't deal any damage to it myself: I opened the KP3 and separated the circuit boards entirely from the outer shell/cover, whilst still maintaining their connections. Would a small 8 watt guitar amp work as a means to detect audio signals? My though was, since I need the ...

Alright, so I tried the line-outs from my EMX with my headphones and I get sound on both L/mono and R. Although pretty much identical in sound quality, when plugged into R the volume is slightly lower than in L. Next I plugged into KP3 mic like you described... I get the same effect, sound from EMX ...

I agree with the EMX being in the clear. About testing the mic input: I dont own one at the moment and wasn't really planning on getting one anytime soon either, since vocals are the least of my concern with what I intend to produce. As I said I'm still in the process of learning my instruments and ...

Headphone troubles with EMX-1 and KP3

Hi, Since I'm new to this forum, first off about me: I've been playin various instruments since childhood, mostly keyboard/piano and guitar. But for the last year I've finally found the motivation to delve into my true passion production-wise: psytrance/dark psy. About a year ago I bought an EMX-1 ...
