ok i had to take a break.
Quote:
The Ramp toggle switch provides one of two possible paths to ground. In the "off" position, there is a direct connection to ground through the inner lug of the switch. In the "on" position, the connection goes through the outer lug and a 100 ohm resistor to the Ramp footswitch;
I was showing grounding on both outer lugs of the switch. and voltage on the inner lug.
this was giving me ground all through the ramp switch. R54,55 and C25.
I took the toggle switch out of the circuit again and disconnected the ramp footswitch.
I remeasured the continuity of the toggle and it is
showing continuity between all lugs in both positions. as in beeping no matter what two lugs i touch switch in both positions.
remeasured again: with no jumpers or switch in place
I am getting voltage off of R53 on to the
center lug of the switch @ 7.9v.
I am ground on the outer lug closest to the potentiometers.
and now on the outer lug closes to the edge of the board am getting a reading of 8.61(when the toggle switch was in i had 0v on this lug and down through the ramp circuit.)
now i have that 8.61v down into the ramp circuit.
reconnecting the ramp footswitch i am able to toggle off the 8.61v from the lateral lug to ground by pressing the footswitch. footswitch works. (does not engage vibrato but cuts the outer lateral lug from the toggle switch to ground)
Toggle switch removed using jumper: (i have not done this yet wanted to confirm above looks right. i had a discrepancy between my center lug 7.9v and your "Duhvoodooman" center lug of 0v)
my assumptions:
Ramp off would connect inner lug to outer lug closest to potentiometers?
Ramp on would connect inner lug to outer lug closes to edge of pcb?
Grounding out the
center lug should activate vibrato? which means if my toggle switch was bad, vibrato should have been always on because the entire switch was grounded... but because I was not getting vibrato by grounding out the center lug that means the issue is not in the ramp circuit? getting ahead of myself...
I appreciate your help. thank you!
