If you measure those 0.3 kilohms to 54 kilohms from plug tip to shaft and around 50 kOhms from plug ring to shaft, it should work well. Absolute values are not critical. If the expression pedal's plug has no ring, it will not work.
OK, yes it has a ring and tip. I did a little more research and found out that it's actually the same pedal as the Yamaha FC7, it's just stamped with the korg name and korg calls it OPX1

Stereo or not

Beitrag von Kermit »

Hi,

I noticed today that I only have sound in one channel when using the organ output. Both channels are working with the leslie output.
I have rtied with and without jumper J6.
Is this normal, or something to do with demo mode ?

Thx

Claus

Hi
normally a Hammond is only MONO why therefore the HOAX stereo ?
On leslie chanel the things turn a little and it´s really a stereo signal for better sound.
So if connection on STEREO on direct connectors you will have in this channel only a DOUBLE MONO signal.
I can´t answer anything about the causes because I dont´t Know anything about the actually demo mode ( my board is licenced ).
We have to wait till return of bovist from holiday. I´ll talk about this with him at that time.
Till then play in Mono or connect Your the input of Your both Amps to double MONO.

Hi happyfreddy

No problems - I can wait :D
I did expect that the raw output(no leslie) was mono.
I was just "missing" one channel.

Well, I have found the answer - upper and lower is send to left Channel, and bas is send to right Channel. So everything was working. I was worried that the OP AMP was dead because I used a mono plug at first, so I did actually replace the OP AMP and the DAC just to be sure , before I did that test with the Bass pedals drawbars attached...stupid me.... :D

How hot should the heat sink get? I attached a 9 x 5 x 0.3 cm piece of aluminum with a nut and bolt and some thermal compound for a heat sink. After about an hour and a half of playing the whole piece was pretty hot, I could still touch it and hold on to it so it wasn't burning. Is this OK or should it be cooler? If it should be cooler do you recommend adding more aluminum or drilling some holes in the piece that's already attached? I've never made a heat sink before so I'm not sure what's appropriate. What I do know is that it's working at dispersing the heat, so that's good.
Thanks in advance

hi,
If You can´t touch it, it´s still too small. Hand warm will better run. As described in Board PDF the montage on case metal back panel is favourite.
Try another greater Cooler with 3K/C° index

Yeah I couldn't make the heat sink the back panel because I also installed my neo ventilator inside my organ. I have the mono out of the hoax going to the neo and then the outs of the neo running to a back panel I made. so I'll add some more aluminum to it and see how that feels.
Thanks

hi
nevertheless the new leslie simulation doesn`t need any Ventilator I´ll think. It´s pretty good.
The same guy Simon Oslender

connects the HOAX to an extra tube preamp ( Behringer MC 100 ) before going on amp.
Nice dirty sound

Yeah I already had a neo ventilator so I figured I would just use it instead of buying the leslie license to save money. I didn't try out the 2 minute leslie demo on the hoax because I didn't want to know what I was missing if it was better than the neo ventilator. Also I added more aluminum to the heat sink with holes drilled in it to help disperse the heat into the air. It seems to be working well. After 2 hours of playing it was warm but not hot. Thanks for the links.
