JimboMansonMB-1 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yeah it's not the best at cleans, always driving the amp. Coil tapped maybe... Thought so. Just thinking for when I do actually get a DL-1, I was wondering about putting a motherbucker for authenticity/maximum fanboi. Think I'll stick with the MBK2, it drives my amp as is, and the motherbucker is almost double output of the MBK2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yeah it's not the best at cleans, always driving the amp. Coil tapped maybe... coil tap works fairly well on the motherbucker, still not the clarity of a nailbomb but looks cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just noticed. Why are there two flick switches for the FF? Surely it's only on/off right? My mind boggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky Boy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just noticed. Why are there two flick switches for the FF? Surely it's only on/off right? My mind boggles I assume the other one's for the Phaser Edit: What Phill said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Phaser on/off and FF normal/twisty mode Did the original delorean have a pickup switch? I only see a kill switch...or was it wired up a strange way so the neck pickup was only on with the piezo or something? Phill, have you had a thought about those...things? No problem either way - just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So the two knobs are both for the FF, but the two switches are for FF and Phaser? Slightly confusing What's the third switch by the bridge on the original that isn't on the DL1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly confusing What's the third switch by the bridge on the original that isn't on the DL1? No idea, probably something to do with the roland or piezo. I'm not sure how it's wired up. Both knobs are for the FF (stab and comp). One switch is FF on/off, and the other is phaser on/off. (the phaser's speed control is internal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Cool, fair do. I still think there should be a knob for phaser speed on the front of the guitar. Surely being able to change it whenever you wanted would be more practical and would open up some pretty interesting options. But hey, I don't build them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I don't build them Don't know how the productions will be (this I'm very interested to see how they do) but on the original there are holes in the back to allow quick access to the trimpots for phaser speed and other three FF knobs (volume, toan, and Bellz0r) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The switch by the bridge is the pick up selector. I hate the positioning of it on that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem either way - just wondering The piezo and midi pickups just have volume controls. They are always on when the guitar is plugged in. That little switch by the bridge is the PUS. I assume the motherbucker and P90 don't blend well so there's no middle option. I forgot all about that James. I'll dig 'em out and send you a pic.

Musclemuse00 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I think the phaser speed must be on the front, I had a version of PIB from 2001 maybe 02 from Italy and during the verse he was using the phaser to speed up the FF oscilation, That would of been awkward to do if the control was at the back of the guitar, but having said that my guitar mag from 2001 says its at the back :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshH Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 my second transfer only took a day maybe two, but I sent that one during the week. My first one went out on friday and took two weeks, so maybe the weekend slows it up. Mods, is there a way you can change my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THINK I see it...the board on the back plate to the right of the fuzz factory appears to be the phase 90...there's a trim pot where the control knob would be, which means it IS internal...if I'm seeing correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
