Art Extreme effects processor pedal

[palmmuteboi]

any one here ever tried one?

i recently got this pedal pero wala siyang adapter na kasama now the prev owner told me na need daw eh 9v AC adapter to make this thing work pero wala ako mahagilap.

so sa mga nakagamit na nito. anu remedy pwede kong gawin? please help i need an adapter to make this thing run. also sabi nung prev owner walang polarity daw itong unit. the manual says it 9v AC 400mA.

Please help.

salamat sa mag rereply here.

I have one. Gorgeous Multi, way warmer than zoom.

Just buy a 9volt wallwart, open it then rip out the rectifier-filter section and presto you have a 9vac adaptor.

ui instant ac adpater, and very quick response! thank you sir bamf

BUT

i think i dont have the knowledge to understand your directions sir..

can you break it down to me to noobs language? hehe

starting with the adapter

where can i buy one and which one to buy?
 second about the disection the "how to" in noobies simplified terms

sorry sa abala po just badly need one to test this pedal im really really am excited to test this

Tom, I'll snap a pic of my "converted" wallwart .

You can also buy a 220-primary 9v secondary transformer and put that in case, put a crown plug cable on the 9volt side and an ac plug on the 220v side. Presto again

Alternatively you can go to murillo or numeroh unoh or whoever makes PSU's and ask them to make you a 9VAC adapter. They'll be delighted (Its a lot easier than making regulated PSU's).

certainly will sir salamat for the snappy response

OT : can you give more description regardint the sound of the pedal?

One adjective lang : it's warm. Maybe it approaches a Korg AX5G from my memory of it.

Hirap lang gamitin, takes some getting used to coz it doesnt have the Bling-bling of a zoom or what not.

Oh, the distortions are pretty useless except for the Tube Screamer emulator. But that's me of course. The modulations are to die for tho.

[palmmuteboi]

where the hell is the adapter when you need it!!! haha thanks sir

i have a korg ax5G ,korg ax1000g and my cousin has the korg ax30G..and out of the 3 the ax1000G was more usable..

for the art extreme to my ears is closer to the old digitech floor based multifx's...not the korg AX5G

[BAMF]

I repaired a Digitech RP50, and I recall wretching as I went through its patches.

I don't recall wretching over the ART tho. She was fat. Too fat for my tastes pa nga e :=D

[bryanarzaga]

but between the two ART and KORG ax5G, definitely ART..

korg ax5g's delays and dirt wasnt that satisfying..

the digitech i was talking about is the RP21 and RP7's..those had better dirt than even my dod tech4x and dod GS30

[BAMF]

Yeah that thing is kinda under-rated din ano...

Maybe it's not that popular because of its requirement for an ac power supply, making it pedalboard-incompatible.

sound-wise it was underrated but delivered for me a really good studio and live sound..especially my rp7..only thing i didnt like was banking with it, i could feel it choke..which wasnt noticeable in live situations..it had a tube..i didnt care for tubes back then..but i knew it has one..its still probably in my closet in pinas..but some of the switches doesnt work(plastic switches then ended up breaking), i think my cousins rp21 was better at banking, choosing between patches doesnt feel like the pedal was choking at all..

Maybe it's not that popular because of its requirement for an ac power supply, making it pedalboard-incompatible.

i guess because of negros's inconsistent power flow back then (spikes and stuff), i fried a couple of multifx's live and studio..i saw two of dod multifx gave up in front of me..

@TS..if you have a good amp, the ART will be useful..

[palmmuteboi]

@ sir bamf : sir wait ko po yung pics ahh

@ bryan can you suggest a "good amp" pero small lang kasi i have a small room for my music small lang tlaga enough lang to fit a drumset + small amps like 3 small amps i think. im like starting palang to make a small jamming studio for me and my friends kasi. any reference na amp to be well suited sa art? thanks!

[BAMF]

Here.

It was an ordinary, adjustable wallwart, maybe I bought this from Deeco. Should have cost around 150 bux. Note that it looks kinda hollow.



Then I gutted it and removed the rectifier and cap pcb, leaving only the transformer behind. I wired the original cable and plug to the 0 and 9 volt output of the transformer.


That's all there is to it. A 9VAC wallwart is just a transformer converting 220vac to 9vac.

Hope that helps.

its better that you bring that pedal with you and try some amps..back when i tried the art extreme myself it was plugged to a marshall valve state and it sounded nice,

thanks for the photos sir bamf, i will make a diy adapter later, parang sinisipag ako mag diy and mag solder hehe. i hope itll work for me
