    I absolutely started down the "just find longer screws" route, bought a ton of imperial and metric screws in various sizes and lengths, drilled all the holes in the home brew board, etc. I eventually concluded dual lock was vastly easier and held just as well. One problem with this approach is it's also hard to take pedals off when you need to squeeze cables into places like side jacks. So I ended up needing to wire up multiple pedals and then screwing them all down at once. Also angled bottom screws (looking at you, H9) are a pita.

    I’m curious about the seemingly cheaper power box. Some people on the internet are saying the power supply I bought isn’t isolated. I’m going to do the test with my multimeter. I bought a vangoa pedal board with integrated power supply and it says that it has an isolated power supply but the power cord for the wall outlet is a 1.5 amp power supply. I’m wondering if I was tricked into believing I bought isolated power in the board when they meant it comes with an isolated power converter as a power cord like a one spot

    Why do you choose to put the ground wire underneath the terminal, touching the housing?

    • @AlphatoneAudio
      @AlphatoneAudio 4 місяці тому

      Efficiency, mostly! The ground/sleeve is already touching the housing because of how the part is designed, so slipping the ground lead under the tab is the quickest way I've found to get a clean solder joint without slowing down my workflow. I think of soldering as a two-rule process: Rule #1- if something's not supposed to be touching, make sure it's not touching. Rule #2- if something's supposed to be touching, make sure it's touching. In this case, it doesn't matter if the ground lead touches the housing, so fast and clean work matters more than slipping the lead through the pinhole or keeping it isolated on the tab. Thanks for asking!

    As an electrician who also plays guitar, I wouldn’t ever suggest splitting in general. You are de-rating the wires which increases the chance of fire. In reality, you’ll prob never get full load capacity but on the off chance that you do, it’s safer to spend the money on a second power supply. They designed their pieces of hardware to accommodate a specific number of ports for a reason. Always better to error on the side of caution.

    • @JSwaney
      @JSwaney 6 місяців тому

      @@AlphatoneAudio Thanks so much for the reply. My initial thinking is that this isn't a possibility, since PhPwr is being sent backward from the mixer/preamp/etc. to the microphone using the same cabling as for the signal. There would have to be some way to separate the PhPwr from the audio, and cut only that. There may be some routing options from within a board or patch panel, but I'd like to use these jacks at a distance. Phantom power through TRS isn't really worth the risk, I don't think. I'd love it if somebody proved me wrong... Thanks again!

  • @LittleTimmy-xk7nn
    @LittleTimmy-xk7nn 6 місяців тому

    You do great work. Unfortunately the insulator on these plugs melt within the range of most solder flow in my experience. I've tried it all the way down to the point to where the solder doesn't flow, as you're actually trying to heat the metal with the iron and let the solder flow, thus making a true electrical connection. I've occurred many bad (cold) connections trying, and in essence wasting a lot of money. I would advise clients who tour to default to other TRS 1/4" with proper standoffs for TIP.

    • @AlphatoneAudio
      @AlphatoneAudio 6 місяців тому

      The Squareplug products are great for many applications, but may not be for every purpose. It sounds like you may want to try a different solder tip, temperature setting, or type of solder. There might be some slight melting of the insulation around solder points, but there shouldn't be a lot, and certainly not enough to damage the connector itself. I'm sorry to hear this didn't work for your application, and fortunately, as you stated, there are plenty of other plug options if the SPS-7S isn't for you. Thanks for watching and reporting your experience as well!

I have been soldering for a long time and after having a few short on the tip and ring assembling them for a friend I came and checked Google to see if anybody else had that issue. I assembled in a very similar way to the video and apply only as much heat as possible. Out of 22 of these plugs six of the TRS cable version (SPS6) and about 60 solder connections total The only ones I had issue with were the SPS7 connectors(I had no issues with these even though they're the same plug and different shell). And there were a lot of other square plug brand connectors in the board. I wonder if there was a run of connectors with poor insulators.

    • @AlphatoneAudio
      @AlphatoneAudio 6 місяців тому

      The Morningstar Midi box should have 6 switchable outputs that can be made ring active OR tip active, depending on the needs of your pedals. ChaseBliss pedals are generally a ring active system, and to my knowledge you should be able to use a regular TRS-TRS cable, even if it is 3.5mm to 1/4in. If you learn otherwise during the process of setting up your new gear, let me know!

      @AlphatoneAudio 7 місяців тому

      In order to work, you technically only need a solid solder joint connecting the leads to the tabs, but I recommend using the through-hole for attaching the hot/tip lead at least. The 360 degree coverage is generally a stronger joint than just laying it over the tab. When soldering the ground, it's easier to wedge it underneath the tab and use a generous amount of solder to form a joint rather than worrying about getting the lead through the hole. Soldering isn't always an exact science, so sometimes it's best to experiment with different ways of making clean, durable connections. Thanks for asking!

    Anyone know how to make a 5pin MIDI to TRS cable for a Chase Bliss pedal to bypass the need for a MIDI box? I know the tip is NOT connected for their pedals, but I don’t know what 2 of the 5 pins on the MIDI male end need to be.

    • @AlphatoneAudio
      @AlphatoneAudio 7 місяців тому

      It's common for 5-pin DIN connectors for certain pedal applications to leave pins 1 and 3 (furthest to the outside) disconnected, making use of pins 2, 4, and 5. Pin 2 (center) almost always acts as a common ground, and in the case of a connection for a ChaseBliss pedal, Pin 5 will likely be the most important connection because they're ring-active. Note that this can vary slightly depending on your Midi controller, but if you're just connecting one CB pedal via 5-pin->TRS midi, you don't necessarily need a midibox to make those conversions. If you need a cable made for this connection, shoot us a message on alphatone.com and we'll make sure you're getting what you need! Thanks for watching.

    Question. If the customer added the loopy 2 to his channel 10 on the G2, he essentially loses a channel and so it all becomes an 11 channel G2 instead of 12. Couldn't he (his guitar) just go in the Loopy 2, and then the Loopy 2 into the input of the G2? I am not sure what buffer the Loopy 2 has and what meg reading it has.

      I don't see any reason why you couldn't change the position of the Loopy 2 depending on your needs or what pedals you wanted to add into the chain. The only thing I would look out for is pedal order concerns and, as you noted, possible buffer/impedance changes this could create. You'll want to consult manuals or GigRig directly (their website is pretty user friendly) for info on the buffer specs. This was just what made the most sense for this customer and their board.
