Hello, I'm new to Alembic and proud to own an Alembic Spoiler. I will post him later on in th e show topic. Electronically it's okay. My only question is: there was an on/off switch for the battery with a LED indicator when the battery/bass is on. Unfortunately one of the previous owners removed the connections. Here is a picture: Does someone know how to solder this switch with LED correctly? Thanks! (Message edited by onz on December 29, 2007) |

Onno, From what I can see in your picture it looks like the previous owner replaced the on/off switch with a switched 1/4" jack. I know of a person who did this because he would forget to turn the bass off and drain the battery. By having the power switched by the jack he knew the battery was disconnected every time he unplugged. In addition the LED adds some additional drain to the battery. Just something to think abput.

Welcome Onno, very nice to have you aboard! Why not try and post this on the trouble shooting section of this forum? There are so many very clever Alembicans there who may be able to help! If al else fails, simply give Alembic a call. They are very helpful Post pics of your Spoiler if you can..we love to admire Alembics here! John. |

Oops, I didn't see the troubleshooting section! I'll post my question there. Maybe one of the moderators can remove this double-post. Thanks for the welcome :-) |
