Adding a tele output
« on: December 05, 2007, 11:20:36 AM »

Just done my first bend and the obvious questions about different sound outputs popped up.

Is there a way to add a tele output jack into a toy? Is the signal to week? Are there any alternatives?

Awesome place btw.

1/4 inch jack is the term you're after i think.

Usually you should be able to wire the speaker terminals from a toy to a mono jack socket to create a line out. + to tip and - to sleeve although it doesn't matter to much which way round they are. If the out output is to high use this circuit to calm it down a bit



a higher value of R1 will give a lower output.
Theres all kinds of problems you can come accross with outputs but a lot of them have been covered on this forum so do a search.
