Pete Cornish / LD-3 Battery-Free Line Driver/Tuner Feed/Mute / 2010's / Black / Effect For Sale
|
Pete Cornish LD-3 Battery-Free Line Driver/Tuner Feed/Mute s/n DC/11043 handmade in the UK in near mint condition with box and instruction sheet.
Thoroughly tested and in perfect working order.
Our low noise discrete component Class A pre-amplifier has been specifically designed to overcome the problems often encountered with amplification of Electric Instruments fitted with magnetic transducers. The usual cause of these problems is the mismatch of the impedance in the electrical circuit between the pickup and subsequent equipment: this mismatch has been completely eliminated with the introduction of our LD-3™ Line Driver/mute/Tuner Feed unit.
The input impedance is identical to a high quality tube amplifier and our Class A Pre-amplifier also features a highly effective RF filter which will help prevent interference from nearby radio transmitters.
The pickup output should be connected directly to the Line Driver input with a short, low loss, screened cable; the Line Driver output can now be fed to any effects or volume pedals (if used) and then on to the amplifier, using fully screened cables, of any length, throughout.
Also fitted is an auxiliary output, which may be used to feed a signal to a Tuner; this signal is identical to the main Output signal but has additional isolation components to ensure that interference signals, which may be generated in a tuner, are not fed back to the amplifier. The Tuner Feed signal is permanently active.
The heavy-duty footswitch controls the signal sent to the main “OUTPUT” jack and provides a complete shutdown of the audio signal path when set to “MUTE”
FEATURES:
Triple purpose: Line Driver, Tuner Feed and Mute in one convenient package: compact size housing 100 x 120 x 36mm
Each unit is hand built, wired and tested by Pete and Lynda Cornish.
Heavy Duty all-metal footswitch with Daylight Visible LED's.
Easy battery is replaceable via the removable “drawer”. The battery is switched on when you insert the “INPUT / PWR ON” jack and to ensure long battery life unplug this lead when the unit is not in use. If the unit is not to be used for a long length of time, or to be adapter powered, we recommend that you remove the battery. Preferred battery types are MN1604.
Also fitted is an input for a DC adaptor: the size of the coax connector is 5.5/2.1mm and the center pin is negative (-VE). The adapter should be noise free, fully stabilized at 9V DC and capable of supplying 20mA. We recommend the use of Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus adapter as meeting the above criteria and cannot accept any liability for damage caused to this unit by the use of, or to, any other type of DC adapter. An adapter proving an output of an AC voltage should NOT be used. If only a single unit is to be powered the BOSS PSA series may be more cost effective and is also recommended.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This unit is capable of being used with any stabilized, noise free supply voltage between 9Vdc and 24Vdc.
Using a 9Vdc adapter the performance will be identical to when Battery powered.
Using a fully smoothed and regulated AC/DC adaptor with an output voltage of 24vDC Maximum, and capable of supplying 20mA, the signal performance of the unit will be as show below.
Please do not use an adaptor with a higher output voltage than the specified 24vDC maximum, or of reversed polarity, as it may damage the LD-3™. An adapter with an AC voltage output should NOT be used as it will permanently damage the LD-3™. Damage caused by the use of the incorrect adapters mentioned above will not be covered under the terms of our warranty.
WARRANTY DETAILS:
This unit has been built using the finest available components and constructed to the highest standards but should any fault occur during the twelve months from date of purchase please return it post paid to the above address where under guarantee repairs of any original manufacturing fault will be carried out (normal wear, misuse, unauthorized modifications or accidental damage excepted). The warranty will be voided if the guarantee labels are damaged or removed. This warranty does not apply to customer's own equipment, which has been connected to this unit.
This warranty is non-transferable, so is currently not valid.
BEP - Boutique Effect Pedals, Netherlands 
Bienvenidos a nuestro monasterio BEP, donde yo, junto con otros monjes cazadores de pedales muy bien formados y educados, estamos en la búsqueda del pedal más sagrado de todos. BEP se especializa en pedales de efectos vintage y boutique. Actualmente, nuestro principal objetivo es vender pedales de efectos fuera de la UE debido a las normas fiscales confusas dentro de la UE, con las que nos enfrentamos actualmente. Cuando se resuelvan estos problemas fiscales, volveremos a realizar envíos dentro de la UE. Sin embargo, el lado positivo es que BEP realiza envíos regulares a EE.UU. UU., Canadá, Japón, China y Australia con costos de envío subvencionados por nuestra parte, por lo que estas normas fiscales confusas dejan de ser válidas. A partir de junio de 2021, BEP ha sido honrado con la distinción de convertirse en distribuidor oficial de pedales de efectos Ibanez, GuitarSystems y MTFX. BEP ha aceptado estas oportunidades y nos gustaría que otros fabricantes de pedales se pusieran en contacto con nosotros. En BEP tenemos nuestro propio departamento de reparaciones, por lo que todos los pedales se han enviado después de haber sido probados varias veces. Algunos nos llaman el Louvre de los pedales de efectos vintage, pero otros preferirían el Versalles de los pedales de efectos vintage gobernados por Miss Domina XXL XIV. Antes de que se envíe su pedal o compra, se probará para detectar problemas comunes, como interruptores de encendido/apagado pegajosos, potenciómetros agrietados, clips de batería sueltos, etc. Estas pruebas se grabarán en video, principalmente para la participación de los clientes de Reverb, pero estará disponible si lo solicita. De acuerdo con el plan de protección de Reverb, está cubierto durante 7 días después de la entrega. Si surge algún problema, comuníquese con nosotros primero. Tenga en cuenta que todo el trabajo de BEP está protegido por derechos de autor, incluidas las fotografías, el texto y las descripciones. gracias
Welcome to our monastery BEP where i amongst other well trained and highly educated pedal hunting monks are on a quest to find the holiest of all pedals.
We're processing 1300 vintage effect pedals so keep a watch out !!!!
BEP specialises in Vintage and Boutique effect pedals. Currently our main focus is selling effect pedals outside the EU because of fuzzy tax rules within the EU, which we are currently dealing with. When these tax issues are cleared then we will be shipping within the EU again. On the sunny side however .... BEP ships regularly to the USA, Canada, Japan, China, Australia with subsidised shipping costs at our end, so these fuzzy tax rules become non valid.
As of June 2021 BEP has been graced to become an official dealer of Ibanez, GuitarSystems and MTFX effect pedals. BEP has accepted these opportunities and we would welcome other pedal manufacturers to contact us. At BEP we have our own repair department so all pedals have been shipped after been tested several times. Some folks call us the Louvre of vintage effect pedals, but others would prefer the Versailles of Vintage effect pedals ruled by Miss Domina XXL the XIV. Before your pedal or purchase is shipped it will be tested on common issue's such as sticky on/off switches, cracky pots, loose battery clips etc etc. These tests will be recorded on video, mainly for Reverb's customers engagement, but will be made available on your request. According to Reverb's protection plan you're covered for 7 days after delivery. If any issue's arise please contact us first. Please beware that all BEP’s work is copyright protected, including photo’s and text, descriptions. Thank you
Our pedals are sold on a personal level and are thoroughly tested on battery power and with an adapter. These tests include sticky on/off switches and cracky potmeters and all tests are recorded on video. Before any pedal is shipped we make sure that they work 100%.If for any reason your ordered pedal is not working properly then please contact us first, so we'll make sure the correct Power Supply Unit is used ( Boss ACA vs PSA Adapters for example ). Please do not open the pedal yourself, not even for a battery replacement, unless it has a separate battery compartment such as regular Boss pedals, but contact us first. If you do open the pedal we can not accept a return.
Nuestros pedales se venden a nivel personal y se prueban minuciosamente con la alimentación por batería y con un adaptador. Estas pruebas incluyen interruptores de encendido y apagado pegajosos y potenciómetros que crujen, y todas las pruebas se graban en video. Antes de enviar cualquier pedal, nos aseguramos de que funcione al 100 %.Si por alguna razón el pedal que pediste no funciona correctamente, contáctanos primero, para que nos aseguremos de que se use la fuente de alimentación correcta (por ejemplo, adaptadores Boss ACA o PSA). No abras el pedal tú mismo, ni siquiera para reemplazar la batería, a menos que tenga un compartimento de batería separado, como los pedales Boss normales, pero contáctanos primero. Si abres el pedal, no podemos aceptar una devolución.
