This is a channel I’ve been looking for… for years! Where did you learn to repair pedals?
She designed and built them in the first place ;)
Lol. I believe it 😂
Holy shit you weren’t kidding!!! Just looked her up on google 😂 I feel like a dumbass but I’m playing the “I’m the new guy” card 😂
@@snarkybu42 Yup, she be the "Fran" in Frantone ;)
Love the 'patina' 🤭
Hearing the disgust in your voice when you found the sockets and N-4s, that is the sound of someone who takes pride in their work and designs.
Props for the solid 9v connector instead of the floppy junk.
I watch these repair videos mostly just to get a chance to hear you play a little, Fran!
Same here. To embark on such a business she had to be in love with the tone.
Thanks Fran x
Its good to see someone actually play the instrument and show us, it annoys me when someone fixes a keyboard or something and refuses to play, even briefly and make lame excuses.
I didn't know it was permissible to list your patrons from Fran Lab on another channel, nobody else does that.
19 mins in and forgot about the video and just watching Fran jam. Thank you.
Every reaction I've ever seen from an electrical to seeing what someone else has done to their baby... It's cathartic haha
Solid video Fran
It's the effect pedal version of the "repairs done by another shop" you see on the Just Rolled In videos.
I wonder if casual Fran lab viewers have any idea how freaking cool you are
When Fran starts swearing you know it's bad
I C smart. 12/2023 viewed. wow. you are a treasure. made me smile. !!!!!!!!!
never ceases to amaze me, how some people think they know how to "customize" the circuit & make it "better" than how the original engineer designed it & invariably end up turning a perfectly good device into e-waste
What a huge difference in tone -- massively better now.
Inspirational. As an educator this channel and this video demonstrates that following your passion pays off eventually. A great testament to customer service and generally being a "nice" person. Inspired
I LOVE these repairs! Unbelievably generous to personally restore such an abused affront to the Frantone name.
Generous? I *hope* that Fran is charging them *A* *LOT*
BTW Fran, l really dig your white nylon strain relief (for lack of a better term) on your battery wires. Nice little touch. You can always tell when an actual user of a device is the designer of said item.
Love hearing your muttering under your breath too. You sound just like me!
The strategically placed Bop-It is important for testing.
Trade secret...
There are three kind of people. Those, who know, what they are doing and those, who don't know. But the most dangerous ones, are those, who think, that they know...
I like how you still remember how something you built in 2004 was designed and how it's supposed to work.
I finally got a 2nd hand Peach Fuzz. Now I know what's inside. It works great.
WOHOO!!!
THIS is what we need.
MORE benchtime with Fran!!!!
Ha, they're never turning to that person again for pedal repairs after seeing this video I'm sure!
How did I not know Fran had this channel!
It was great to hear you play.
What a fantastic name you chose there. I can almost feel the ultra soft hairs with my mind.
#13:30. Those sockets are for wire wrap circuits. They are not intended for IC chips. Some idiot on the internet a decade ago said these sockets are better, and they are absolutely not intended to be compatible.
If you have an AMA, one of the top questions will probably be "How do you feel about sockets?".
That's some of the best-sounding distortion I've heard, even if it's not "up to spec." Here's hoping you're eventually able to get an OEM to take up your manufacturing standard and re-issue your pedals.
My favorite fuzz pedal!
I love this video! So happy you made a page just for the pedals! Thank you FRAN))))
Love love love the final test!! You are a Woman of many skills!!
I'd literally die for one of these made from you in current times, praying i get lucky someday your vibes are always on point, much love.
Wow! You went above and beyond.
I'm impressed you didn't close it back up and return it un-fixed to the sender when you saw the way it had been modified.
I aspire to be as thorough and diligent as you, Fran.
: / I'm the owner. My tech guy did that *sigh* I'm extremely glad Fran did the honorable thing and fixed it. I'm guilty of plugging in the wrong power supply but that was all
I learned so much more about your diversity watching this video. You are definitely a multi faceted individual. Kudos. Loved it.
Cat hair? Oh my, we've got tons of that stuff down here :D
Its loveliness increases. It will never pass into nothingness... What were they even thinking, replacing those chips? I'd replace them one by one to see which one was the culprit, then maybe do some tests on it... Let's do some science here. Oh, and nice to hear that you used teflon insulated wires and conformal coating. Nice stuff :)
Interesting thing about muting too.
"Jellybean is not my lover..."
Hey Fran, if I win the lottery, you’ll be one of the first I send loads of cash to! As long as you use it to make lots of pedals!!
I noticed on a few of your videos fran you say you dislike the desoldering gun because it takes long to heat up. If you were to sell your current one and upgrade to a hakko fr-301, you would notice a massive difference in every way. It's my favorite tool to use, I fire it up every chance I get. The quality, factory support, heating is quick just a few seconds and Bob's your uncle!
Always get numbers matching parts when possible. Basic rule of electronics repair.
Also don't get your ICs off of eBay/Amazon/AliExpress
Someone was messin' with Fran's art! You got it back and that pedal looks well used. It's ready for more.
Great to see another Peach Fuzz in the Lab :-)
Could we get a youtube video of you playing with all the different frantone peddles? I apologize if you did it previously, I didn't see it.
Excellent video.
I like a socket driver to get pot and button nuts off. The shaft goes right through and the 12-point drive ensures the nut never gets scratched or burred.
I like plastic sockets so it never scratches anything
Love that tone!!! Would love to see some details on The Crowbar!
Ha! Teflon insulation will cold flow unlike PVC so under pressure it will slowly displace until it shorts so that could have been a factor.
Oh, now I understand.
Very impressive! 👍👍
Where the heck have I been? This is a great space! I'm glad I found this channel :)
Nice repair
Whoever attempted to repair this initially obviously didn't understand and appreciate the thoughtfulness and care behind your design and build. Such a high quality product 👌
In the world of 8biit computers, sockets are the considerate thing to do. In the world of high gain analog audio circuits it's the opposite :)
Damn I love yr. pedals!
Innocent noob: “where did you learn to repair FranTone pedals?” Fran: Hold my beer…..😂 love this channel❤
Skip Simmons says the first thing he does before any trouble shooting is clean an amp. I've taken that advice for electronics. He said customers ask him what was wrong with their amp, and 80-90% of the time just cleaning it solves the problem, so he has no other answer for them.
LM386-N is what I run in the pedals i build also. You can push 18V through if you want. I typically go from 12V to 15V. It really makes those 386's scream.
What that mess deposited on the lid at5:57. Maybe an explosion of parts at the power jack from some event with the dc in power. May have torch the ic's and some other parts. These type of witness marks may tell some of the story. Great vid's NØPXJ
Well done on both the OG build and repair. If you want a repair done right, have the person that built it do it, I'm ashamed to admit I've never heard of Frantone or Peachfuzz, but I do love op amp fuzzes/Muffs as this reminds me a good deal of my op amp muff.
After you fixed it, It sounds so good I'm crying right now,,,
Neat. I just repaired my old DOD fx90 delay pedal. I had to replace every single jumper wire. They all completely degraded, input/output, switch, LED. Weird.
Fran really started getting sour at 13:00: these electro clowns need to pay.
Nice!
I love my peach fuzz!!
Please… Frantone DIY kits (e.g. circus board, BOM w/ Mouser Part numbers, and instructions, etc.). Thanks… pretzel for your thoughts!
Oh, I wish I could buy a new one from you. They’re mega bucks now.
Loved this video. Must be painful to see someone screw up your baby
I need some Frantone on my pedalboard!
IC sockets in a rough as foot stomping environment hell. The last thing you'd add surely?
Hi Fran, musician's modifications!!, you know that sometimes they like to change the sound !!, don't know much about electronics!!, lol 😆
No, all I did was plug in the wrong power supply. But I sent it to a tech for the repair.
What the Flux! 🤔😅👍👍👍👍
Haha, stoopid fluxxors!
I can relate to having to repair someone else's "repair" job.
Mee too! I've gotten where l just turn down a lot of previously "repaired" gear and "swapped out" pieces. Normally l just give it back. If they get an attitude l hit em with a bench fee.
Thank you Fran. Not to impose but I hope I am not the only one that reccomends Watching Last of Us. on HBO.
❤❤❤
I laughed, I cringed, I learnt something. I hope the owner met the expense of reanimation.
Could you provide the details of your crowbar? Cheers
BTW the crust should add to increased paranoia for stoners
If sockets are part of the original design, and quality sockets are used, then fine. For analog, at least. Digital has lots more leeway, but it's not universal either. I've often had to use contact whetting formulas when switching ICs in older sockets. Because replacing sockets often sucks, doubly so for high-quality sockets with stronger and heavier pins, which I view as being part of the PCB itself.
In desperate situations I have been known to solder a chip into its socket, generally only as a last-ditch attempt to avoid long-term decommissioning of equipment (and the associated system) when complete removal for overhaul is the next option and spares aren't available.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
you don't j hook the wires before you solder ?
Have you considered a re-issue of any of your most popular pedals to fund FranLab?
Yes... ruclips.net/video/NzW_fWCK4E4/видео.html
@@FrantoneElectronics now I remember - one big gripe was having a paint room - maybe power coat and screen print instead? Bottom line: "the quality goes in before the name goes on" and I appreciate that!!
So I'm kinda curious if you go to a show, can you hear when folks use "your" effects or not. Neat
I'm surprised you left the sockets since you have so much disdain for them.
I wish you could still buy these without having to sell your car. 😩
Wish I could order a new one of these from you 😞
I think I hear a flanger. Maybe just you moving between the speaker and the mic?
That pedal sounds really nice. With all the trouble and thought you put into it, I'm not surprised.
That's the consequence of my body refracting the sound waves and morphing phase as I move in front of the amp - much like a Leslie cabinet do.
What’s the proper way to clean flux after soldering? Thanks in advance
Why the hate for sockets? They are generally the way to go when using IC's.
Everyone knows that you can't replace an N-1 with an N-4.. And what about the 5088? Geez... Lol... Just joking... Great video Fran. Subbed you....
Fran, I want a Fran tone, Wawa pedal please please please please can you make me one?.
PS I love you frannha ha ha.
Ah jeez, what did these MORONS do to my design!!! So funny, this attitude extends far beyond pedal building. Almost sounds like Psht from Ed Bassmaster. :)
Also, nothing wrong with socketing IC’s, very, very standard practice.
Great job on getting it up and running again!
Why do you put battery on your frantone if you already have power supply?
They changed everything... cause they just done blowed it up! Wrong power supply?
Why not desolder the sockets then? Or not worth the time?
Probably not worth the time, given the flux-and-conformal-coating mess from the previous "repair."
Do you offer repair services for these or was this just a one off?
Owner here, I begged, pleaded.. plus I'm a genuine fan of the product.. Very happy she took this challenge on. Honorable..
Dang. I sure hope you charged appropriately.
Subscriiibed!
The noise (fan noise) while you're soldering is painful listening through Bluetooth hearing aids. Never noticed it before.
seems to happen on a lot of channels. she gotta have the fume extractor running when burning lead tho
For a moment I thought it was some test noise generator she was using through the repair! 😂
Who are these people who treat their pedals this way.
Fn sockets.
ICK! You should be wearing gloves! 🙂
I’d charge extra for DNA sanitation.
