The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....

Well, it sold.

[Jwar]

Huh. Well good luck to whoever bought it!

What would make a pedal unrepairable (especially that one)?

(I don't know shit about electronics)

[bob the r0bot]

It's an SMD pedal if I'm not mistaken, so while it might not be impossible to repair, it could very easily be a pain to diagnose and a bigger pain to actually repair.

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, SMD is a way to make things cheaper to manufacture. Not as easily fixed as non-SMD and most manufacturers would probably just replace a defective unit rather than attempting a repair.

It's most likely the circuit itself, iirc the Muff part of the circuit is really really prone to shorting out after a while. It's part of why the v2 exists. I remember asking Aen about it when someone offered it to me on a trade, he basically said that they wouldn't work on it because it's essentially a paperweight by then.

If there's a fatal design flaw in the circuit in the first place, then it'd be a matter of when not if failure is imminent. So, why try to fix something if it's gonna break soon anyway?

[Jwar]

True! I would have just bought the new version. But I get it. 75 bucks (or whatever it was) seems like a great price. Fuck fixing SMD though. LOL! That shit would be a bitch. The whole point of SMD to me is that it's so cheap in most cases you can just replace the entire board loaded and everything.

[Strange Tales]

God fuck SMD so much. I'm 1 for 3 on succesfully soldering SMD boards.

I thought DeviEver stuff was all handmade...? Isn't SMD when like a little robot in china zaps tiny components onto a board in giant factories at lightning speed?

No, SMD is just a different mounting method for components. It uses different, smaller components that are just placed onto the PCB and held on with solder, whereas full-size through hole components have leads which go through the PCB.

SMD does make automation possible though which is why almost all household goods use SMD components.

[Jwar]

Yea a lot of it's done by robots, but some folks like to torture themselves and solder SMD. LOL! I would lose those components so fast it's not even funny!

I'm almost positive Dana assembled these. Don't quote me on that, but I thought that was the case.

...and all goes eerily quiet as autosnipers are loaded....

There's still SOOOOOOOOOOO much time left in that auction.

[Dandolin]

I know!

There's going to be so much tension build!
