Description

This is a replica of the Maestro Brass Master referred to in these documents as BRASSM. Do not attempt to build this project unless you have some experience building effects. There are a lot of parts and there is a lot of off-board wiring involved. We have divided the wiring instructions into four stages and also a separate diagram for parts placement on the PCB. Each diagram contains only what is being installed in the given stage. There is no diagram that shows all the wires connected since there are so many wires the diagram would be difficult to follow. The original version had 3 knobs, Brass, Bass and Sensitivity controls. We found that an added Volume control is useful, since some of the settings can raise the volume level considerably and that is not always a good thing when you switch the effect in/out. In some of the photos, we did not installed a battery snap, just the DC jack. We did not use pads “AA” and “BB” and we wired the battery snap wires directly to the input jack as the Stage 4 wiring diagram shows.
