Have you had any issues? I can’t get my deerhorn to work on my PB2. I have to physically touch it to get any response.

@mlogger what’s this tuning screw you speak of?

#149

ha… sorry. i don’t own it. yet.

This happened to me. You are out of range. I guess treat it like an oscillator going out of tune - it just needs recalibrating. On the plumbuter v1 there are 2 trimmers - accessed with a phillips screw - 2 small holes - 1 at the top, 1 at the bottom of the deerhorn section. Put all the knobs at 12 o’clock first before turning the trimmer. I used the bottom trimmer - only turned a 1/2 turn whilst waving my hand until it came back in range. On PB2 i would do the same, use the bottom trimmer, wave you hand and turn the knob above the deerhorn switch (10 oclock to 2 o’clock) until you find the range. If that doesn’t work try the top one.

Ugh - sorry to bug but having another issue on the PB2. Before I contact Peter, I thought I’d try you since you’ve been so helpful.

After some use, I now realize I barely get any volume from a Gongue and an Ultrasound (both towards the top of the instrument; the ones on the bottom end work fine). I am thinking it must be something that’s not making contact. Already went through a ton of contacts and put some more solder, but this issue remains. Any ideas what this could be? It’s affecting two modules so I wonder if it’s power related.

#156

Yeah that’s really well done.

What a great fucking guy!

Are you using batteries? The PB is not really strong enough to run 9v battery. I use a 12v centre + power supply

#158

No - using a 12v power supply. However, I did notice the plug is a bit too big (doesn’t go in all the way). Peter recommends at 2.1mm plug. Perhaps that’s the issue.

#159

Maybe or could be a bad contact on the banana socket. What i did to check was to insert a banana plug in each socket and twist whilst looking at the underside of the pcb to see if there is any movement / disconnect in the solder

Re-soldered everything, but could still be it. I actually think it might be the power supply. Doing a test tomorrow. Thanks so much.

Yes, they get the job done. Compared to Pomonas, cables can get a little “limp” but nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend these if on a budget. (Source: used to own a Kilpatrick Audio Phenol). Cannot speak to the longevity of the cables tho.

#162

Bought new power supply and issue persists. I’ve contacted Peter. Thanks for your help.

there’s a bit more back story to that sid. that was my second sid, commissioned direct from meng qi. it originally came in a black plastic box with his older style barres (kinda really light bamboo or something). i have a local woodworker family friend and had him build a custom case and barres that i installed. i just wanted to clarify as to say it is meng qi is mostly right but not quite entirely.
