Maestro PS-1A V2

Video and pictures of the V2 zeta-sound clone of the Maestro PS-1A phase shifter.

Mainly changes made in the main circuit board layout , allowing the stompswitches a bit more centered and using onboard in/output jacks. The speed selector circuit works the same as in V1, tap the switch and change the speed through three presets. Blue -> Slow, Green -> Medium, Red -> Fast.

Stepping through the three speeds.

Seimens tube amp mod

The channel switching mod to the old Siemens 6 S Ela 2427c installed. The optocouplers circuit board found a place.

I removed the guts from the pilot lamp and installed the channel indicating leds in it. We can see the two new pots installed, a clean volume pot and a mids pot.

Laney Klipp100 modified

Laney Klipp100 amplifier after modification. The master volume pot was a mod already made. It now holds a switch for channel selection, a 6,3mm jack for remote channel switching and indicating leds for each channel.
