Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks everyone for your ideas. As for the schematic, there's a thread to it in a post from me earlier, there's no designation for the chip. Searching this forum and the Rickenbacker forum, I've found a quote from JH along the lines of the chip was specially made by a company that was subsequently ...

OK, I checked the capacitor and it checked out fine. Now here's the part that I don't understand. While I had it apart, I readjusted the trimmer pot that controls the gain to the compressor circuit according to Rickenbacker's spec, which is 1.5 VDC. I rotated the pot several times full on in each ...

I do, and will check later today. It's the light blue component next to the 3-way switch, correct? If that's it, I'm guessing that I'll be able to find one that will fit -- are they readily available?

Here’s a thread that has the schematic, pictures and lots of analysis:

My first thought was capacitors too, especially with the circuit not being able to produce the initial pluck of the note or chord. Might you be able to tell from the ...

Thanks, I did submit my registration for the Rickenbacker Forum several days ago, but I haven't received confirmation from them yet, and therefore cannot post to that site. I did email the write-up here to "[email protected]" and have had no response. I also asked in that email if they could ...

On my 1989 new-to-me 370/12 RM LE there is a problem when I switch on the E1 compression/treble boost circuit. Rather than getting the clear, sparkling "The Byrds" tone, the tone is muted and distorted. At times the tone quality and the volume wander up and down by themselves, but most of the time ...
