Re: Please Help Me Diagnose My Fly Deluxe

You could test the output jack by attaching wires on the back tabs of the jack before the signal goes through the jack but you may have to clear some of the plastic heat shrink covering the tabs to get to them. Or easier if your confident follow the wires backwards from the output switch to the tabs...

Re: Fly piezo just stopped :-(

First thing to check is the preamp circuit board. Bypass it upstream first.You can see the coax cable coming out from out the bridge and soldered to the preamp circuit board. DON'T UNSOLDER ANYTHING! Just 2 wires (preferrably with alligator clips on them) or use tape and clip one wire to the outer s...

Re: Pre Refined fly no piezo sound - deeper dive question

Double checked the output jack again this time clipping leads onto the tabs before the output jack so to bypass it but alas still no piezo. But thanks for the reminder again. It was the first thing I checked months ago but only with a meter not actually bypassing it straight to an amp. Also just not...

Re: Pre Refined fly no piezo sound - deeper dive question

Yes I Tried different mono cables with no change. When I use the Factory parker TRS cable the one cable output marked in pink/ red tape has no sound either humbuckers or piezo. However... the other output cable marked with blue tape gets full loud humbuckers when the stereo switch is pushed out but ...

Re: Pre Refined fly no piezo sound - deeper dive question

I think the FIshman board is working but only because some others have posted about their humbuckers still working. I can still get the mag humbuckers to work if the red stereo mono button is pushed outward. But that still doesn't tell me for 100 percent if it is the board or not because I think you...

Re: Pre Refined fly no piezo sound-deeper dive question

FWIW...If it helps anyone else here, I still haven't figured out why my piezo system isn't working yet but I finally figured out an easy way to test the piezo system to make sure piezos are good as I thought my problem might be the failed piezos themselves or the wiring connections in the bridge. Th...

Pre Refined fly no piezo sound - deeper dive question

Hi everyone! my 98 fly deluxe piezos stopped working but like others have posted here the mag p/u's still work. Thanks to everyone's previous piezo problem posts I've cleaned the ribbon cables and metered all switches for continuity to make sure all those switches /pots work. But then I finally mete...

Re: Removing the pre refined stereo/mono switch

Little late in reply as I'm a brand newbie to this forum, but FWIW if you look at the stereo/ mono switch inside the cavity you will see 2 side by side rows of 3 pins. when the switch is popped outward the middle pins connects to the outer facing pins in each row. when the switch is pushed in the mi...
