Phoenix Gold Phorum

Can remember everyone that wanted one, but at long last, here you go.

i might be selling my cube, so if you need more/different/better pics, let me know soon!

wow...i suck at picture taking...more

hey! i'm getting better...these ones wont give you a headache!

You seem like a great guy but either your camera bites or youre horrible at taking pics :-p

haha, they got better at the end...and its a 9mp nikon...so i'm gonna assume i should keep my day job...

My wife has a 79 dollar hp 3.2mp that takes better macros than my 500 dollar canon

I needed the control knob, I started a thread asking if anyone has an extra one or if they knew who had one. Let me know if your selling, thanks man.

KHpower just bought my cube and remote. i didn't have an extra knob...but it doesnt seem to hard to make one...

I have the actual knob but the case for it I don't have. Figure I can mount it to something but I'm a brand whore I want the PG housing for it. lol.

Thanks BF, I will re-draw the pcb in PCBexpress tonight. Maybe I can get some of these together for the guys in need.

Does anyone know if the pots are audio taper or linear? I am guessing the volume is audio taper and the freq is linear, but if you know off hand, chime in.

any way i can tell by looking at it?

an email to either/both of these guys might help on that question

scbezjak@sbcglobal.net - cecil

jetta4ek@gmail.com - errin


or even Phil at pg might beable to tell you

No, not unless they are labeled as such. You can check with a meter though if you get ambitious. Linear taper will measure from 0-10k ohms evenly over the whole range of the pot. Audio taper is a logarithmic curve that increases from 0-10k. A linear pot would be about half of it's rated value at half travel, a audio pot will not.

my meter is at my parents house and i'm shipping this remote out today

I have a remote for testing purposes. Not for sale though....

You say that like you know a government worker!

BF, the volume pot, if you haven't shipped it yet, can you tell me what the name or numbers are that are stamped on the top of the switch section? You can just see they are there in picture DSCN0187.jpg, but can't make them out, all of the other pictures of the top have too much reflection to read. I may have tracked the freq pot down already, gotta look through the manufacturers catalog.

Oh, and BTW, I went looking for my old cube remote, and it looks like I must have put the whole thing through the recycling program in my shop All I have left is the mounting piece...

I was a civilian at the Army Research Lab for 2 years.

Many thanks to Bfowler, I got it all figured out. See my other post about the remotes for PCB layout, component list, and parts pricing w/ part numbers.

Is that because of the body or the lens?

so can one not use the lpl cable/knob on a basscube if the one provided with it.. is not there.. ??

you sure can, the cable is just the 4 conductor phone cord, and the acutal knob itself is the same on the LPL as the bass cube

so everyone that is in need of an actual basscube knob could jus use one of those cept not have the nice lil black metal to go with it??
