America and Australia, so it's not really beer at all but 'malt liquor' to be more accurate. Young British men who don't know any better seem quite happy to drink such monstrous concoctions as Coors, Bud and Fosters because they don't know any better and fall for the flashy advertising and glitzy looking dispensers. The best beers in the world - proper beers - are brewed by the Belgians, the Czechs and the very best of all of course - the Germans. |

If they have GROWN out of the board, especially from the vias, then they have a really good chance of being conductive. And, maybe the ones across the TOP of the coating are no problem, but if there are some on the back side or under the coating, they could cause trouble. If the conformal coat has broken down, moisture and various contaminants could have gotten under it and started making conductive paths. If the controller depends on some high impedance circuitry, that could cause it to quit. If these things are on TOP of the coating, then it should be easier to make a conductivity measurement. (But, yes, I see you say they are brittle.) Jon |

(But, yes, I see you say they are > brittle.) Indeed they are - very! Anyone who can come up with a method for establishing if they're conductive and if so, to what extent deserves a Nobel Prize, I reckon. |

Going for the nobelprice then. :) Apply a very small drop of salt water to the tip of one of those out grows then one side of your ohmmeter to a ground and the other side gently touching the drop of water. If the whisker conducts, that should show up. |

Thank you for that, Sjouke. I'll ponder this idea of yours as I can see some merit in it. the only problem AISI is these fibres are so tiny it's going to require a steady hand and a good eye - but I have neither! :( However, it's very late here now so I'll report back tomorrow with the results - *if* I can pull it off. |

Yep. I was thrilled when I went in a little off-the-beaten-track bar in a remote part of the Canary islands to find they had three chiller cabinets stuffed with craft Belgian and German beers. Have my tickets booked for Oktoberfest :) -- (\_/) (='.'=) Bunny says: Windows 10? Nein danke! (")_(") |

I find it amazing that Gibson do not supply user manuals with any new guitar. So how is an owner supposed to know that you have to unplug the guitar lead, to switch off the battery, let alone anything else? All active guitars have this function. Likewise, all battery powered guitar effects pedals also have this function via the switched input jack socket. Most owners of such products who don't know about these functions soon find out when the battery goes dead and they ask their mates why. Gareth. |

Are we in the 21 century? The owner only tended to use one setting of all the 3 switches, just changing the rotary controls, plus lead connected all the time to the amp, so internal battery on all the time. Switching the small toggle switch on and off assuming that turned the internal amp on and off. This was from new and unless it fell off somewhere it looks as though Gibson does not even put a little soft cover over the spindle of that switch, so bare metal, unlike the normal 3 way switch which does have a soft cover. Avoids static clicks , if nothing else, getting through to the output. |

I should imagine that if that switch turned the power on and off, there would be an almighty BANG which would raise far more eyebrows than a piffling static click. :) Gareth. |

More than once I have had to ask if the owner left leads plugged in overnight. I really like the ones who insist their battery operated pedal hums. .... Phil |

This is very light load of 9V , one FET, and 22K in line with "B+". With old battery 4V over the circuit and it worked, tried on DVM-bat_test and 0.02V registered, and about 6V on DVM-V. I would have thought a SM 10uF cap downstream of that 22K would do the job of switch-on bang, perhaps switch-off fart would be frowned-on, but there is already a muting subcircuit there, so perhaps 3PDT switch instead. Had another go at trying to find a user manual for a classic 2014, specs yes, but no user manual to explain about that toggle switch, mute/boost or normal/boost variants |
