Anyone here have an MXR Dyna Comp with the on/off LED? I have one without the footswitch and LED and want to put them back in, but need to know how it's wired. I can take a good guess but I'd rather have confirmation. Anyone here have one and are willing to open it up and check it out? I'll email you a cookie. biggrin.gif

Yeah, I came across that one too. I don't think that's the schem for the actual MXR unit, but rather someone's copy of it. Also, mine has the LED and isn't true bypass, which is different than that one.

 

But I do thank you for the effort. biggrin.gif

np - i was trying to find schematics for it, but no luck finding the LED unit...do you have a model # (other than the model name)? It might be easier to do a search that way...?

EXCELLENT WORK, jd...but nope, that's the newer version. Mine's much older. The PC board and wiring are completely different now. fists crying.gif

were you able to find the model # on the bottom of the unit? Should be with the serial # if it has it...

There doesn't seem to be a model number. Serial is 2-065424

 

This unit is from (I believe) the early '80s, when they first started putting LEDs in them. I either find the new ones like you guys have found, clones that are wired differently, or the really old ones.

Just a thought - maybe email jim dunlop about it and see if they can send you schematics? techsupport@jimdunlop.com
