I have the G5 which works really except I have an issue with the tuner, it seems to have a sensitivity problem it doesn't seem to get a good signal. I have a G1on and the tuner works great.
Have you seen this before or is there a mod to change this?
Thanks

ashbass reply:
Sorry but I've not seen that. I use an external tuner so I've never had to mess with the one on the G5/G3x.

hey i wanted to thank you for the info . i have a g3 and when i did the mod i placed the jack on the front side the cable put pressure on the ribbon cable . it pressed it into the pins for the cable header , so i actually purchased a replacement ribbon cable for a couple bucks on ebay . then i extended my mod cable so it runs next to the ribbon not on it ... anyway you did a great job with this site , thanks again !

Hi!
I'm currently building a SuperStrat with Dan Armstrong wiring and I want to use a TBX tone control for bridge and middle pickups similar to a 90s American Standard Strat. I am not all too familiar with circuits and wiring but I suspect I can accomplish this if I connect the TBX as a regular tone control to the middle switch for the middle pickup as described AND also to the bridge switch on the left middle connector according to the various diagrams. I understand you have an extra tone control for your bridge pickup but would my proposed wiring work? Thanks!

ashbass reply:
I wired the pickups to their tone pots and from the pot to the switch input for each pickup. If you have one pot for two pickups it will work, but you will have those pickups tied the pot and if you have one pickup with tone on 5 and you switch to the other pickup it will automatically have tone on 5 as well. A benefit for tone controls for each pickup is that when paired with others in series connection, one tone only works on that pickup. In standard parallel wiring if you turn down tone on one pickup the entire output of all pickups gets toned. That's why many of my guitars over the years that used Armstrong wiring had three tone controls. Even if the guitar wasn't originally fitted with three tone controls I drilled holes and added them in so I could get the benefit of series connection individual tone controls.

Hey man,

Your bass-mod for the Randall RD-5/RVC is really useful.
Even with a 12" speaker the amp sounds a bit thin when played clean. First I thought the tubes were too old since I bought it used. But then I saw your page and found out that the circuit is intended to release the bass when rolling up the gain much further.
Being able to switch modes I can now make it a nice pedal-platform.
And it's also possible to boost the high-gain distortion with a TS without thinning it out too much.
Really, THUMBS UP.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi,
first, very nice site. Big thanks to Ashbass and everyone else sharing your ideas. I own a Zoom G3 and it inspired me to create a mod for scroll, patch-select, etc. without the need of an additional switch or external powersupply. I will send you some more informations and pictures when it's completed.

About the problem of MPow and Marc-Antón.
The small buttons of the G3 are organized in a key matrix. Not to go into too much detail, these five buttons share one ouput-pin of the microcontroller which normaly is set to 3.3V. There's no protection for the output-pins, so most likely it somehow got short-circuited what damaged the microcontroller.

Maybe it's possible to use a resistor to protect that pin from getting short-circuited.

Regards

Hi there and Happy New Year!
I’m new here, and am yet to explore this site – a lots of info as I can see, great work!
I own G5, and would like to ask you about its amp modelers. Every amp model that I use has an audible “overtone” like fixed settings flanger pedal is on, or like the sound comes through a tube or from the water-well! And this nus-effect is particularly amplified when played F sharp riff (?) – like the frequencies of the amp and the G5 are increasing each other. I tried guitar with stock pickups, guitars with old and fresh strings, Dimarzio pickups, top end cables – without difference.
I plug G5 into return of the effect loop of my Peavey Bandit 112 transtube (the black one), I tried it in both low and high gain front end inputs – again the same overtone were present. The same happens when I tried it with Bandit 65 solidstate amp from 1980ies.
The g5 manual reads about “odd timbre” on pg. 62 – tried whatever they recommended – no result.
Is there any cure for this, do you have the same problem, or it is just processing power of the unit that can not handle this problem?
Furthermore, I tried POD X3 Live into Transtube – it also gives that annoying sound but lot, lot less than G5, the same with DigiTech RP 350. The amp itself plays ok, no problems whatsoever – and yes, I tried every pot/* * * combination on it to try to solve the problem.
Thank you very much!
Amor

ashbass reply:
I've never had that problem to really speak to it. You've trouble-shot about all I could recommend already. Maybe your power is dirty. Does your gear have this sound when you use the pedal at a different location than where you are when it makes the sound? Like in someone else's house or similar?

Hi Ashbass,

Your web is very resourceful for me as G5 user. Really appreciate it.

I am looking for the way of holding the delay sound using pedal, and at the same time I can fill the flowing constant sound (possibly chords) with melody. And when I want to change the chords I release or re-press the pedal. More or like David Gilmour style when doing Shine Like Crazy Diamond. I hope you get the idea.

I read that the FS-01 can “holding the delay” like that. . But I cannot find it easier way to buy it here in Indonesia. I am just wondering that your mod for “changing patches” can be used for this specific purpose. Is it possible?

Thank you.
Regards from Indonesia.
Keep playing!

ashbass reply:
Well, the patch mod and other switching mods won't do what you want I'm sure. Have you tried this using the Zpedal? That seems to be in the direction that you want to go.
