Re: Crumar Stringman

2011-12-23 by scituate_mass

Hey Chris,

Sorry to hijack this thread... I'm curious if the Stringman anything like the orchestrator string section? My orchestrator has an issue with just the string sound producing a "clipping" sort of sound - almost like the level is too high. All other sounds work fine... it's just the string sound that does this. I've been trying to figure out what the problem is forever. I recapped everything except the divider boards and tried adjusting the BBD/chorus board levels to no avail.  The schematic is a total pain  to navigate... If you have any tips (based off the Stringman), please let me know.

Thanks - DT
