Ibanez BC9 Bimode Chorus pedal schematic needed

[ken]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a schematic for my old Ibanez BC9 Bimode Chorus pedal - the metallic purple one.

My son found it in a box in the basement and tried it out, but it doesn't work. He says it's completely dead.

He has been all over the webs looking for the diagram with no luck.

Thank you,
Ken

Perhaps the BCL is very similar to the BC9? This schematic was drawn from 1985 versions that apparently were only sold for that one year.

BCL INFO
Ibanez - BCL (Bi-Mode Chorus) - Effects Freak

BC9 INFO
Ibanez - BC-9 (Bi-Mode Chorus) - Effects Freak

DrGonz78,

Thank you for trying to help me out.

I found a copy of the original service manual for the BC9, and if you need a copy PM me.

I fixed mine, and I'm overwhelmed with it. Wow.
It's even weirder than I heard it was... and that's a good thing

Great to hear!! However posting the schematic for others here would be really cool. I guess we all understand if it is a case where you purchased said schematic with agreement not to post it online. If so then let us know. I would be interested to have a copy to compare it to the BCL out of curiosity.

Yes, I bought the schemo. I just wanted to say Thank you for wanting to help me out.

BC9 is one of my favorite chorus pedals. I bought mine new in the 80's and have used it extensively. Very cool idea to implement two LFO circuits to control the same BBD circuit. Really does sound like a couple of chorus pedals going at it with each other. I'd love to see the schematic as well. I'm guessing it's pretty close to, or the same as the BCL.

Hey Ken,

it would be so great if you can send me a copy. Would that be possible?
Cheers!
