tinsacer Joined: Jul 14, 2017 Posts: 11	Posted on Jul 14 2017 08:42 AM I have a question, i have just bought the surfybear diy kit and i dont understand one thing, do i put the screw in the middle of the board through the isolation pad ? Top
bjoish Joined: Jul 06, 2010 Posts: 596 Stockholm	Posted on Jul 14 2017 09:05 AM Hi Tinsacer The little foam pad is not needed! Its just for keeping the parts in place. /Björn Top
tinsacer Joined: Jul 14, 2017 Posts: 11	Posted on Jul 14 2017 10:21 AM But i says that it isolates the mosfets from ground Top
bjoish Joined: Jul 06, 2010 Posts: 596 Stockholm	Posted on Jul 14 2017 10:36 AM The foam pad that holds the screw and washer together is not needed. The blue/white isolation tape on the mosfets is needed for isolation. I think the pictures in the Users Guide will make this clear. Top
tinsacer Joined: Jul 14, 2017 Posts: 11	Posted on Jul 14 2017 10:52 AM Yes i understand that but does the screw go through the isolation tape ? I mean when screwing the board to a metal case. Top

donhearl Joined: Sep 01, 2016 Posts: 2	Posted on Jul 15 2017 09:38 AM Hello Forum, A few posts up I was troubleshooting the hum in my Surfy Bear reverb. I found that my particular issue was the power supply. I found a super quiet power supply in the Asian Power Devices DA-24F12. It is the 2A model. Perfect for the reverb and low noise interaction with my other pedals. Cheers, Don Top
StudioMollan Joined: Jul 17, 2017 Posts: 1	Posted on Jul 17 2017 03:54 PM Hi, I just built a stereo version of this reverb intended to be used as an effect in my studio primarily. Everything works and it sounds great! However I'm interested in trying to modify the amount of bass reaching the reverb tank. I know theres a lo cut filter before the tank but its hard to make out where it is with the small SMD components. Can you please point me in the direction of the filter? It should be a series capacitor right? / Emil Top
