    Re: Help identifying a SMD component.

    Just to update everyone, I ended up replacing the component. When I was getting the broken one off, I had to remove what I call a daughter board on the pedal. I ripped a trace off on accident but managed to use a small wire to bypass the broken trace.

    When I added power to the effects pedal, it started smoking. It could take a 9 volt battery or a 9 volt transformer. The battery didn't do anything, the LED didn't light up. I have no guitar to test it. However, when I tried the 9 volt transformer, the pedal started smoking again.

    I'm going to take a long break from it. Maybe I'll end up throwing it out. Thanks for all the help though guys. I love this site.

    Re: Help identifying a SMD component.

    I ended up ordering the BYM 10-400's off of E-bay. Thanks for all the help everyone! I couldn't of identified it without the help from everyone on this forum! Thanks again! And once again, it's an EBS. From what the guy said and what I've found on the net, these pedals go from around 150$ to 200$.

    He has quoted the make and model at least twice and provided a link to a vendor?

    Re: Help identifying a SMD component.

    Yes, you'll need to find a replacement with at least 400V and 1A rating. 1N4004 seems to be OK although it has slightly higher thermal resistance.

    You might want to think about why they decided to use that Vishay part over a 1N4004...

    Re: Help identifying a SMD component.

    Thank you guys so much! I guess the owner of the pedal decided to purchase a new one and said I could keep the old. I don't play guitar, I've only fiddled with one back in the day. I have friends though that play. Maybe I can fix it and sell it to them. Would any 1n4xxxx series diode work? Or should I find one with a 400v / 1A rating? Thanks again! I searched for a long time on the net and couldn't find anything!

    Great detective works Duncanbest! He can use 1n4xxxx series.

    Wow Duncanbest - pretty impressive - did you know the Vishey Diode colour band codes - how did you find it. I tried a few searches on colour bands diodes etc etc etc but came up with nothing. Well done.

    Re: Help identifying a SMD component.

    I do not believe the band side of the same type of diode by the DC JACK is connected to the center pin of the DC jack. I used the Ohm function on the DMM and it shows O.L.

    There are three of the same type of diodes now. Four if you include the broken one. I can only assume the burnt one was the same component as the other three. It's burned too bad for me to be certain.

    Re: Help identifying a SMD component.

    Is the band side of the same type of diode by the DC JACK connected to the center pin of the DC jack? So it has 3 same type of diodes on this board. The pictures are not clear enough for me to see the burnt section.

    I used the Ohm function on the DMM because I do not have a Diode test function.

    As for the non-banded side being connected to the circuit ground, I do believe it is. I'm still learning about this stuff so I'm not certain if I tested it right. What I did was put the DMM on the Ohm function and touched one probe to the negative part on the DC jack (where the transformer end plugs into) and touched the other probe on the non-banded side of the unknown component. The meter read 0.000 ohms. If I put the probe on the positive side of the jack, I would get an O.L. reading. Was this the correct way of testing?

    The only thing the pedal says is UniChorus Analog Signal Processing EBS. Under that, it says TRUE BYPASS and there's a switch for the mode. Flanger, P.M. or Chorus. There are two nobs, one for DEPTH and the other for RATE. Here is a link to a website that sells it: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ampli...ocessing-pedal

    Hope this helps and thanks for the help {: -)

    Here are some pictures of the board. I've included a semi-close up of the area where the burned part was. I have unsoldered the bad part from the board.

    I have seen the 1N's in that package, perhaps the yellow band is a voltage rating?

    Yank em off and do a reverse voltage test on them.
    Okay. How do I do a reverse voltage test on them? Thanks.

Shot yourself in the foot a bit as 90 odd people have looked at it but could not identify the component so moved on. Can you change the heading as original poster?
    I can post pictures of the whole board. I'm not too certain if I can change the heading. If I can, what should I change it to? I will post the pictures after Star Trek Next Gen is over with (in about an hour). Thanks

    Re: Help identifying a SMD component.

    It's been a few days and I haven't gotten an answer. Should I try posting in the audio equipment forum? Or maybe try another website? Any suggestions on a different website where they might be able to answer my question? Just in case it might help, the effects processor is an EBS UniChorus Analog Signal Processing unit. Thanks.
