Can anyone help me identify it and possibly how to reconnect it to an Alembic system. There are 2 caps,2 resistors(under the pot),and the pot. It has 4 solder points that now has some wire connected. I have 5 sets of activators, though one I can't get to work, so I'm thinking it might be a part of that set. That set has had a cap removed, but there isn't a Q-switch in place. Here's a few pics. Grateful for any guidance or clues. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8561 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, July 02, 2015 - 12:46 pm:    Early bass module from an AE-3 system. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1643 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 02, 2015 - 5:05 pm:    Thanks Mica, I'm trying to figure out if I can use it in an instrument. I'm guessing since I don' have a set that has a treble filter only, that this must have come as case candy a while back. Any good ideas of how to use it without the complimentary treble filter? I can at least file it in the parts bin properly labeled. elwood mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8565 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, July 02, 2015 - 7:59 pm:    The treble board is the one with the preamp, so it's gonna be pretty hard to use without its complement. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1644 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 02, 2015 - 8:24 pm:    I see (I think), I'll have to look closer at the AE set I have that isn't working. Maybe what I thought was an AE-2 preamp board is an AE-3 preamp board (they are different if I understand correctly).
