‘74 Jailbreak EP, 1984

Well, Flick of the Switch bombed. To make some money back, Atlantic America finally agreed to release Dirty Deeds in the American Market, and the kicked it off with this collection of songs that didn’t make the cut for the High Voltage international release. Basically, they realized that the stuff they left on the bone from both T.N.T. and the first High Voltage was still worth hearing. Especially the EP’s title song. Jailbreak became a concert staple after this record. And it even spawned a single. Love that track.

Here’s the original music video from 1976. Released in Australia.

I have a T-Shirt with this album cover on it. It’s a great record. My shirt is appropriately stained with oil and has been ripped.

Interesting ideas for a non-rep Electra in a slightly earlier setting (50s-70s): The New Haven EP-5

Popular as a toy for its fabulous livery and new and innovative in the 1950s, but infamous for catching fire and not being very reliable (possible due to poor maintenance). They also fit AC/DC well because they were an earlier example of an electric loco that could change AC power to DC for its motors (and could run off both overhead AC power or third rail DC, which was common in the region). They actually had a fairly sad irl story, they’re a very visible symbol of the failure of the New Haven, having limited use due to de-electrification and neglect, and a short lifespan by electric standards (20ish years but much of it in storage). The New Haven is one of the more extreme examples of what factors led to de-electrification and the problems US railroads had at the time in general (short sighted business decisions, highway built parallel to their mainline, antiquated regulations making passenger rail a money pit, massively deferred maintenance). So there’s a lot of darker character potential there despite having a number of the same surface-level traits as replica presents. Bright and seemingly futuristic, even had a brief cameo in a major movie (The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit), but troubled and a symbol of how electric traction was anything but inevitable and is actually very vulnerable to political/economic threats.

As a funny aside, the Lionel model had actual functioning pantographs if you were crazy enough to make a tiny catenary system for it. A lot of models also had horn sounds despite the actual engines infamously having air whistles!

Various Adam headcanons

A/N I'm not an Adam simp, I just have been thinking abt him since the last post I did.

A lot of these are just things I feel in vibes and are completely baseless haha.

Cw: SFW, angsty in parts, misogyny, slight reference to disordered eating, uhhh idk man it's mixed

He's very messy and his house is like a bombsite of unwashed dishes and laundry.

Think messy roommate horror stories: that's him, and he doesn't give a single damn about it. Thinks he shouldn't have to clean up his house because that's a 'chick thing'

He's naturally really warm and overheats a lot because of it. Due to this, he has his house cold so he isn't sweating his ass off at all times.

He's really good to sleep next to during cold weather, but is God awful during hot weather.

Will not stop bitching about it being too hot when he's slightly uncomfortable and laughs at people who are easily cold, calling them weak.

His favourite things to watch are shitty b grade movies - especially comedy ones.

Prides himself on knowing current lingo, memes, and jokes (and actually pulls off not sounding like an old person trying to be 'hip with the kids' and cringey)

Follow up: makes deez nuts and ligma jokes out of everything and finds it hilarious. Sera sent him out of a meeting for doing this to Emily one time.

He's the type of mf who is pretentious asf about beer being superior and believes any guy who likes sweeter drinks / doesn't like beer are pussies.

He secretly doesn't believe this in the slightest and actually hates beer, he'd never admit it though. He has a sweet tooth and actually really likes drinks like Baileys.

Constantly talking, even if it's just to himself.

He likes AC/DC a lot. Ironically, 'highway to hell' is one of his favourite songs of all time.

He always wears his mask because he feels more vulnerable without it.

If you're close with him, he'd likely feel more comfortable to take it off around you - would fight to keep it on at all times if he doesn't trust you or feel safe with you.

I headcanon he put on weight after getting to heaven because after he was kicked out of Eden he didn't have nearly as much food, so he began binging when he finally had it again. It kind of just stayed a comfort for him.

He's really insecure about his weight gain too. If you point it out he's gonna get really upset. (Like how Lucifer does in ep 8)

Follow up: he literally always has snacks and is an absolute bitch about sharing them. If he does share them with you, he expects you to be really grateful.

His masculinity is fragile as it gets.

Would physically wilt if you even slightly imply he's not masculine and then become extremely angry and try to prove he actually is.

The main reason he is misogynistic is due to his experience with Lilith.

Before Lilith ran away from him, I think that Adam actually had extremely high respect for women.

His whole purpose was to reproduce. Women do a hell of a lot more then men during the whole process of reproduction and dude worships pussy even now (he named his best soldier after it. Not after dick, vag)

I imagine that it was a much larger appreciation for women in general before Lilith screwed him over.

This soured into misogyny, though, after she ran away and likely grew much, much worse with Eve due to her actually being made from him.

Eve then proceeded to eat the apple given to her and resulted in them being kicked out of Eden, which made it even worse.

He's the definition of that one reddit incel who had bad experiences with a handful of women and now is an absolute misogynistic cunt lmao

Hella abandonment issues.

Also hella jealousy issues.

Doesn't matter if you're a friend or a partner, he's going to be grappling to be number one and the only one in your life.

He's not manipulative or slick about it even a little though, it's obvious as it gets. Will vy for your attention by being literally as obnoxious as possible constantly.

Literally so clingy.

If you ever point it out, he'll deny it though and get very flustered.

Bro needs reassurance so bad you aren't gonna leave him if you're his partner.

Will sometimes just get really quiet and ask if he did something if he even slightly senses a tone shift to negativity.

Pretends it never happened afterwards and will downplay his fears massively if you call him out on it.

He's the type of sleeper who moves around a lot and ends up upside down somehow. Also a sleep talker.

Is the type of mf who has the skill to transcribe songs into guitar simply by ear.

He never shuts up about it, so although it is actually a really incredible skill, you want to not praise it because of how annoying he is over it.

Follow up: can play most types of guitar.

One of those extremely annoying rock fans who scoff when you put on anything but rock.

Also acts like he knows more about rock than anybody.

If you put on country music around him, he will forcefully grab the aux from you to turn it off.

He knows he actually isn't very smart at all and is super insecure about it.

He's had it used against him time and time again by people like Lilith and overcompensates to deter this by acting like he is actually the smartest person at all times.

When someone treats him like he's stupid, especially about something he actually knows/is knowledgeable about, he's extremely defensive about it (like when Lute points out the shield to him in ep 8)

Would be the type to go "Mansplaining means 'man explaining things'" to you with complete lack of self-awareness.

I need to draw Sera looking absolutely horrified as he screams the lyrics to highway to hell so bad.

Got possessed with the energy I had to suddenly write this omg.

okay now im genuinely curious which ghost songs you think are metal, actually no im genuinely curious about that document you mention…

SO GLAD YOU ASKED ANON. All I needed was one person willing to hear me out, here we go. I put band recs there too for fun

Disclaimer: this is my opinion. I do think its right but I also love each. And everyone. One. Of these albums. I know them by heart, I have learned many of them and still am learning them on guitar. I mean NOTHING BAD by these.

Opus: heavy metal  Very thick baselines, iconic metal strumming patterns, majority quick and aggressive songs. Dark themes. Tobias was just off of Repugnant and still writing very heavy songs. Holds the famed Ritual, known to be on the list as one of the most evil metal songs. Also the closest Ghost ever got to metal gallops Bands you might like if its your fav: Iron Maiden, Dio, In This Moment

Infetissumam: heavy + doom + funeral metal Those same heavy riffs now with the ‘brimestone’ sound that people like to associate with it. Lots of calliope and pipe (funeral) organ sounds. Very classic satanism themes, mixed with the trademark slow and gloomy doom metal tracks (If You Have Ghost EP veers into more classic rock territory sometimes) Bands you might like if its your fav: Candlemass, TOOL, Black Sabbath, 

Meliora: heavy + doom/gothic + rock heavy rhythm guitar with really good lead. Orchestral vocals and pipe organs, very reminiscent of catholic choirs.  The spotlight is on vocal range, backed by a lot of dark, heavy backing. Still with a hint of classic rock influence like AC/DC.  Bands you might like if its your fav: Powerwolf, Shadow Academy, Spiritbox

8 Inches: Psychedelic rock Duh. Its a take on rock music of the era. Mainly the psychedelic movement, hence the funky album art. Only put it here cause MOAC is their biggest song. Bands you probably like if its your fav: Jefferson Airplane, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple

Prequelle: heavy + fantasy metal  Almost half ballads, definitely more than half fantasy. Most songs have a whimsical feel thanks to wind instruments appearing. Still with the riffs that got them popular and the catchy choruses that Meliora introduced. Like Meliora, still some rock influence but only really obvious in Dance Macabre and Witch Image. Bands you might like if its your fav: Majestica, Elvenking, Orden Ogan

Impera: heavy metal + classic rock No one wants to hear this, no one wants to admit this but Impera absolutely draws inspo from the greats of both rock and metal: ACDC, Metallica, /Def Leppard/. I think it skirts along the line of rock and metal the same way Metallica does, but moreso in the valley of hard rock. Twenties and Griftwood is where you’ll find the heavy metal aspects. INCREDIBLY well done solos. The Griftwood solo made me buy a guitar ten years after stopping playing. Bands you might like if its your fav: Shadow Academy, Blue Oyster Cult, Foreigner

You amaze me ...... LIKE the WAY you add detail to your story makes me speechless for example the kayson audio first episode they got into a locker . then Mr. T and Alex (booo 😤) came in and they had a conversation there voices was slightly heard but not alot . Like this story was suppose to be kayson focused but the way you added alex 😯😯😯 makes me really think about how your mind works

Things I heard from ep 1 : ( Alex's conversation)

(***) = part where I can’t hear them clearly

(( )) = I think that’s what he said but not 100% sure

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. Taylor and Alex walking into the office [footsteps].

(Not sure who is talking): (***) AC/DC.

(***)

Alex: The bigger ones (***). Did you ((head-bang))?

Mr. Taylor: Hahahaha. Used to be. Can’t remember the last time I did it.

Alex: (***) only when I’m in my room.

Mr. Taylor: So, what did you want to talk to me about?

Alex: Um, so I- I don’t really know how to say this, but…I’m thinking about quitting the volleyball team s- so that I can have more time to do what I want to do, which is photography. Photography is, my passion and I’ve been wanting to do it for so many years but, right now I’m studying criminology and law, and that’s taking up so much of my time and my parents wouldn’t let me ((choose)) photography as a course, so in order for me to go to university (***) choose criminology and law (***) so I (***) but I also like doing volleyball and the only thing that I can think about doing is to quit volleyball in order to (***) photography.

Mr. Taylor: They wouldn’t let you choose photography?

Alex: No. They think that it’s not sustainable and, so that’s why they wouldn’t let me do the course, and they think that (***) leave home, in order to travel the world and I want to do that of course, that’s part of what I want to put in my portfolio but because they think that it’s (***) and they think that I won’t be able to make enough income, so that I’m going to be homeless if I choose photography as a career (***). It’s- it’s not like I want to (***). (***) I don’t really care about criminology and law, but I understand where they’re coming from (***). (***). (***). (***). (***). I’m not gonna lie, I’ve thought about (***). (***). (***). (***) I don’t want to waste (***). (*** Missing a whole chunk of conversation because of Kayson! ***).

Mr. Taylor: Choosing a course you have no interest in is not how you want to (***). (***). Do they know you do volleyball too?

Alex: Yeah, they (***).

Mr. Taylor: (***). You’re not supposed to living their dream of what they want you to be.

Alex: But I can’t change courses. ((Not if I want them to)) paying for it, and ((being a disappointment of quitting and doing my own thing)).

Mr. Taylor: (***)?

Alex: No, (***). (***) I’d prefer doing volleyball as my course than rather than what I’m actually doing now.

Mr. Taylor: ((I’m going to be frank with you Alex.)) If you don’t want to do criminology and law then don’t. (***) want to do and your health won’t thank you for it. (***). I’m not really qualified to give advice on courses and stuff so, but I will say that you need to think about yourself. (***) and you- you say you enjoy volleyball more than your actual ((course)), which is great! But that’s not how it should be, is it?

Alex: No, [sigh]. I- I was thinking that I can make it through the course, trying to do the work and build my photography portfolio at the same time, so that when I graduate I will have a degree and (***) start work.

Mr. Taylor: (***). (***).

Alex: (***). (***). (***).

Mr. Taylor: Do you know where the student support hub is?

Alex: Uh, no I don’t…

Mr. Taylor: You know where the (***) department is, right? Go straight through to the other side from the main entrance, follow the path and it’s on the left. It’s a very colourful area, so you can’t miss it.

Alex: Okay, I’ll go there tomorrow.

Mr. Taylor: They’ll be able to give better advice than I can. There are also resources that can help you. You’re still in your first term so, even if you do change courses, they’ll try to accommodate you as much as they can.

Alex: I’m just scared that when my parents find out, that (***).

Mr. Taylor: (***). Thinking about what could happen will stop you from ((acting now)). (***). (***).

Alex: No, I (***). Thank you.

Mr. Taylor: (***).

Alex: Yeah it is.

Mr. Taylor: Good! And, if you need time off from the team, let me know.

Alex: No, that’s okay. I’m not going to quit and let the boys down. I can’t do that to them, and I look forward to training.

Mr. Taylor: I’m glad to hear that. So, I’ll start doubling the lunges, the squats, switch it up with some overhead presses and…

Alex: Haha, no-no-no! I’m- I’m good with the intensity already.

Mr. Taylor: Hehehe. You say you like the training, so I’m going to give you a challenge.

Alex: Yeah, but I want to actually move afterwards.

Mr. Taylor: Ah, come on! Hehe.

Alex: Haha.

Mr. Taylor: It’s not that bad. I might double the resistance instead.

Alex and Mr. Taylor leaving the office [footsteps]. [door opens]

Alex: (***).

Mr. Taylor: (***).

[door closes]

I'm very sure tho 😅 love you saku <3~~

Thank you! I'm happy to know that you like listening to the background ambience as well! I love creating the soundscape, and overhearing conversations can be juicy, but a lot of the times, you can't hear everything!

With what you sent, you did well! As long as you grasp the core context, everything else is easy to assume :D

Watch: HALESTORM's LZZY HALE Surprises Cover Band By Joining Them For 'Here's To Us' Duet

HALESTORM singer Lzzy Hale surprised a cover band at JBJ's Nashville Thursday night (June 27) by joining them on stage for a version of the HALESTORM song "Here's To Us".

YouTube user xSacramentofLove, who uploaded video of Hale's appearance, wrote in a description accompanying the clip: "Stopped in to check out Jon Bon Jovi's new Nashville bar last night, this really awesome cover band was playing. They started playing a crowd request for HALESTORM's 'Here's To Us', when Lzzy Hale herself surprises the band and they end up doing a duet!"

The members of HALESTORM are also no strangers to covering other people's songs, having released three cover EPs so far, including the latest one, "ReAniMate 3.0: The CoVeRs eP", which came out in January 2017.

In the summer of 2022, HALESTORM shared its covers of Adele's "Hello" and Dolly Parton's "Jolene" via social media.

In 2011, HALESTORM released the six-track "ReAniMate: The CoVeRs eP", which saw them take on tracks by SKID ROW, Lady Gaga, TEMPLE OF THE DOG, GUNS N' ROSES, HEART and THE BEATLES. Two years later, the "ReAniMate 2.0: The CoVeRs eP" featured covers of JUDAS PRIEST, DAFT PUNK, AC/DC, Pat Benatar, FLEETWOOD MAC and Marilyn Manson.

The aforementioned "ReAniMate 3.0: The CoVeRs eP" saw HALESTORM covering classic songs by WHITESNAKE, Sophie B. Hawkins, JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS, TWENTY ONE PILOTS, SOUNDGARDEN and METALLICA.

Back in 2017, HALESTORM bassist Josh Smith spoke to RingRocker.com about how he and his bandmates go about picking which songs to record for their series of covers EPs. "We start out with basically everyone… Our team… Oh my God! My dad finds out that we're doing a cover album, all I get is texts: 'Oh, you should do this.' But anyone… anyone who finds out we're doing a covers album, all of a sudden you're just getting this crazy list," he said. "So it literally starts out with e-mails of lists and lists, and somehow, over months, we kind of whittle down our list until we get to a short list of maybe ten songs or less. And then we record 'em and see what works and see what we like."

He continued: "Now, after the first one, we sort of followed a similar formula with the second one in that it's very generational — we have a song from '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, a contemporary pop song… So that was a nice way to pick our songs. Really, that has been the template."

According to Josh, there is at least one added benefit to covering other people's songs when it comes to HALESTORM working on original material. He explained: "What's really cool is that when we do pick these songs, they really do influence us, because it's Songwriting and Performing 101. Where you have to deconstruct a song — a legendary song, essentially — you deconstruct it, and then rebuild it to how it works for us. And it really influences us in a lot of ways."

Added drummer Arejay Hale: "When we did 'Slave To The Grind' [from SKID ROW], we were, like, 'Oh, man! We need a song like this.' And then we wrote 'Love Bites', which is pretty much just off the feel of 'Slave To The Grind'. It's cool, 'cause we used to do that. We used to do three- or four-hour shows with covers and originals. And you're right — it is like training. And I always recommend that for newer artists, younger artists that wanna learn how to play drums or guitar. I always say the best way to really get good and learn how to develop your own style is to learn the styles of other people and learn other songs that you like or that challenge you. And it kind of makes you think differently. It's, like, 'Oh, this guy did these chords,' or, 'This guy played this kind of groove.' 'I bet I can do that in an original song.' So, yeah, it's kind of like training."

Arejay and his sister Lzzy (vocals, guitar) formed the band in 1998 while in middle school. Guitarist Joe Hottinger joined the group in 2003, followed by Smith in 2004.

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Diet Cheap 17/12/1976

A brief history background on the AC/DC record that was released in no less than three different editions/pressings:

A modified international edition was released on Atlantic on 17th December 1976, although the label was unhappy with its vocals and production. (According to bassist Mark Evans, band manager Michael Browning told him he assumed Bon Scott would be fired as a result.) The band even teetered on the brink of being dropped. "The Atlantic A&R department [in the US] said, 'We're sorry, but this album actually doesn't make it,'" recalled Phil Carson, who had signed the band. "'We're not gonna put it out and we're dropping the band'… So I went to [Atlantic executive] Nesuhi (Ertegun) and showed him the sales figures that we'd got for High Voltage. They were not awe-inspiring but, considering we'd only paid $25,000 for the album, this was not so bad… Nesuhi backed me up and I re-signed the band at that point. I managed to claw it back in. Thank God."

As biographer Murray Engleheart observes in his book AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll, the band had not even toured the States yet, a market the band longed to conquer:

The tough rock acts only got what little airwave attention they did because they'd built up a fanbase through years on the road. AC/DC hadn't had the opportunity to marshal troops through touring the U.S., and at the time there was no way something as raw and gritty as Dirty Deeds was going to make it onto American radio playlists by itself. It was a brutally simple catch-22...Americans were said to have trouble understanding Bon, and if the people working with the band couldn't make out the lyrics, how was his voice going to work on the all-important U.S. radio networks?

Following the American success of Highway to Hell in late 1979, copies of the album began to appear as imports in the US. Some of these were the original Australian edition on Albert Productions; however, Atlantic also pressed the international version in Australia, and many of these were also exported to the US. Strong demand for both versions (in the wake of the even greater success of Back in Black) led the US division of Atlantic to finally authorize an official US release in March 1981. It went straight to No. 3 on the Billboard album charts.

However, the release was also poorly timed, considering that AC/DC had successfully reinvented itself with a new singer, Brian Johnson. The band was working on a new album, which would ultimately become For Those About to Rock We Salute You, released later that same year; the US release of Dirty Deeds was widely seen as damaging the momentum for that album, which it outsold. The band was forced to add songs from Dirty Deeds to its setlist on its subsequent tour, also taking the focus away from their new album.

In the book The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC, author Jesse Fink quotes Phil Carson as saying that the release of Dirty Deeds was "one of the most crass decisions ever made by a record-company executive", blaming A&R man Doug Morris and his New York cohorts:

At the time, Doug's argument was purely financial. Back in Black had already sold over five million copies. Because of those numbers, Doug told me Dirty Deeds would sell at least 2 million. I told him he was right about that, but that it would also create a new sales plateau for AC/DC...God knows how many albums For Those About to Rock would have sold had Doug waited for that to come out.

The international release had significant variations from the original album. "Jailbreak" (which had preceded the LP's release in Australia and the UK) and "R.I.P. (Rock in Peace)" were jettisoned in favor of "Rocker" (from the 1975 Australian album T.N.T.) and "Love at First Feel". "Jailbreak" did not see a release in the United States, Canada, and Japan until October 1984 as part of the international '74 Jailbreak EP. A promo-only single, with "Show Business" as its B-side, was released to radio stations in the US at the time. "Love at First Feel" is one of only two tracks from international AC/DC albums not to be available on the band's Australian albums (the other is "Cold Hearted Man", released on European pressings of Powerage); however, "Love at First Feel" was released in Australia as a single in January 1977, with "Problem Child" as its B-side, which peaked in the Kent Music Report Singles Chart Top 100.

The international release of Dirty Deeds also contains "Big Balls", one of the band's most infamous compositions, that finds Scott, a deceptively clever lyricist, using double entendres by using ballroom and costume parties to obviously reference his own testicles. AC/DC had mined this territory before on "The Jack" and would again later on songs like "Given the Dog a Bone", but "Big Balls" could be their funniest attempt at sexual innuendo, although the song was controversial in its day and drew the ire of some critics who mistook the band's sense of humor for crude perversity. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap also led to more AC/DC appearances on Australia's Countdown music programme, following those in support of High Voltage and T.N.T. These appearances included a live performance of the album's title track, as well as a music video for "Jailbreak".

Two songs on the international album were edited from the full-length versions on the original Australian album. The full-length "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" has the title of the song chanted four times, starting at 3:09, but on the edited version the chant is heard only twice. "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round to Be a Millionaire)" lasted 7:29 on the Australian album but was faded out early to 6:57 on the international version.

This means they trim off the Chuck Berry licks and title chanting to the end; however, both these full-length versions were restored on the 1994 Atco Records remastered CD of the international album. The most recent 2003 CD edition by Epic Records goes back to the edited versions, as originally on the 1976 and 1981 international vinyl editions.

The uncut versions of both songs were released on the 2009 box set Backtracks. On the original version of "Rocker", included on the Australian T.N.T. album, the song lasts 2:55 and cuts out abruptly as the guitar riff hits its peak. Conversely, all international editions of the "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" album have a slightly shorter version where the song fades out at 2:50 before the cut. "Squealer" appears to be longer by thirteen seconds on the international version; this is due to it having a bumper of silence at the end, as it is the final track on the record.

"Ride On" has a four-second difference (longer on the international version) which appears to be from a minor speed issue, although the last guitar slide can be heard better on the shorter Australian version.

EP-5 Electra thoughts

-human name would be Jet McGinnis (blatant reference to the EP-5’s nickname and paint scheme origin)

-fun but depressing dumpster fire rockstar, spends extravagantly with money he doesn’t have and constantly fighting with his record label

-AC vs DC mode is a VERY distinct change in personality. In AC he’s wild and hot headed and prone to mood swings and impulsive decisions, often becoming self-destructive, but also at his most creative and vibrant. Lots of raising/flailing his arms to reflect use of overhead power. Mania is a pretty fair descriptor. In DC mode he’s much calmer but downright lethargic. Skates in “sticky feet” style to represent electrical pickup from below. This is all based on the EP-5s being built for rapid acceleration and having problematic early rectifiers for AC operation, with DC mode being a lower voltage (and power) way to get through specific tunnels with third rail.

-virtuoso with almost any kind of string instrument, constantly experimenting with and collecting them. Tries to make electric versions of them with… questionable success

-obsessed with tube-based audio tech, like amps, organs, etc. In reference to the EP-5s similarly being defined by pre-solid state tech (and the issues it has in trains). Loves the idea of “playing the studio” but too impatient to stand the recording process, much more into performing live or jamming

-revolving door of band members because he’s terrible at communication and so erratic and hard to work with. MAJOR issue for the EP-5s, they couldn’t link up with other engines to “work together” which limited their use.

-banned from several places for being a borderline pyromaniac. Loves blowing up electronics, setting things on fire, and setting off pyrotechnics indoors.

-I’m split on whether he accurately has a Hancock Air Whistle or has the inaccurate horn many toys did. Both are funny troll moves in their own ways.

-Can be very fun to hang out with in the short term if unbearable long-term. He’ll just go on and on about music and gear and esoteric stuff about wires and vibrations and constantly gets into fun but regrettable shenanigens

-has very mixed opinions on the Beatles. How dare they kill surf rock and drive his fellow tube technology-obsessed New Englander, Dick Dale, into obscurity. But also the psychedelic stuff is fun

Aサイズケースで電池駆動もできるミニエフェクターを作る

シンプルな回路のエフェクターならミニエフェクターにできるだろ……と思ったら簡単ではなかった話です。

ブースターが欲しかったので回路を設計したのですが（前回記事参照）、そこそこコンパクトな回路になったのでこれは小さいケースに入れてみようと思い立ちました。

ミニサイズのエフェクターといえば、XOTICのEP BoosterやOne Controlが有名です。どちらもACアダプタだけでなく電池でも駆動でき、今回設計した回路も消費電力は4mA程度と少ないため、電池駆動可能にしてギグバックに放り込んでセッションなどに簡単に持っていける、というコンセプトを目指したのですが、結果としてはなかなかに大変でした。

ケースサイズの制約

ネットで見つかるEP Boosterの分解画像を見ると、スイッチやジャック、可変抵���器は一般的なものが使われており、表面実装部品を使えば比較的簡単にケースに組み込めそうに見えました。

ただ、EP Boosterのスペックを見ると、サイズは89×38×38mmとなっています。一方、ミニサイズのエフェクター用ケースとしてポピュラーなのが、HAMMONDの1590Aサイズ（通称Aサイズ）やタカチのTD4-9-3です。外寸は前者が92.6×38.5×31mｍ、後者は94.5×40.5×32で、内寸は前者が87.8×33.7×27.4、後者が84.4×30.4×27.5（いずれも縦×横×高さ）です。色々観察してみた結果、どうもEP BoosterはHAMMONDやタカチよりも深いケースが使われているようです。実際、EP Boosterで使われているのと同じタイプのジャックや9V乾電池のサイズを調べてみると、EP Boosterのようにジャックの上に電池を積み上げるようなレイアウトで1590AやTD4-9-3に部品一式を収めるのは不可能です。

一方、One Controlのミニサイズエフェクターはケースのサイズが100×39×31となっており、1590AやTD4-9-3に近い大きさでした。エフェクターの分解記事を多く公開されている可燃ごみ箱さんの記事を見ると、小さいサイズのジャックやスイッチが使われていることが分かります。これによってジャックの脇に電池を入れる、という形状を実現しているようです。

One Controlで使われているような小さいサイズのジャックは秋葉原では見かけたことがないのですが、似たようなものが「PJ-309」という品番で見つかりました（aitendoで販売されている「PJ-6030-2」というジャックもほぼ同サイズでした）。また、「DC-044」という品番の薄型DCジャックも小型ケースで使うには便利そうです。小さいサイズのフットスイッチについては、フジソク（NIDEC）の8Y3011という一般的な3PDTスイッチよりも若干小さいものがあり、こちらは秋葉原で入手可能です。

早速これらを購入して寸法を確認したところ、これらを横に並べる形であればAサイズケースにギリギリ収まりそうだ、ということが分かりましたす。

ボリュームポットの制約

One Controlのミニサイズエフェクターのようにスイッチとジャック、電池を並べてケースに収める場合、必然的にボリュームポット（可変抵抗器）や回路基板の上に電池を収める形になります。9V乾電池（006P電池）の厚みは約17mmで、ケースの深さは27.5mmほどなので、この場合ボリュームポット（可変抵抗器）と回路基板を合せた高さを約10mm以下、できれば余裕を持たせて9mm程度に抑える必要があります。DCジャックについては厚みが約7mmなので問題ありませんが、9mmサイズの縦型ボリュームポットで一般的なALPHAのRV09シリーズは本体の高さが8.6mmなので、1mm厚のプリント基板を使ったとしてもサイズ的にギリギリです。また、ALPS ALPINEのRK09シリーズやAliExpressで見つかるノーブランドの9mmサイズ可変抵抗器の大半は高さが10mmのため、利用できません。

次の写真を見てもらうのが分かりやすいのですが、真ん中のものが一般的な9mmサイズの縦型ボリュームポットです。本体から5本の足が伸びており、そのせいで取り付け時の高さが大きくなってしまいます。

一応絶縁軸タイプのもの（上記写真左）は本体部分の高さが6.8mmのため選択肢としてはアリなのですが、こちらはナットで筐体に固定することができないため、強度の面で不安があります。

そこで今回は次善策ということで、基板に対して横向きに軸が出るタイプのボリュームポット（ALPS ALPINEのRK097シリーズや秋葉原の桜屋電機店で買えるALPHAのRD9シリーズ、上記写真右）を使用することにしました。ポットの端子（足）を曲げて基板に対して軸が垂直になるように無理やり取り付けるというやり方です。本体部分の厚みは約7mmで、さらにケースにねじ止めもできるため、少なくともケースとボリュームポットはしっかり固定できます。

端子だけで基板に固定されていると基板との固定強度が不安になりますが、これは後述する方法で対処しました。

基板設計

これでひとまず部品一式をケース内に収める目途はついたので、基板の設計を行います。基板はボリュームポット等を取り付ける部分とフットスイッチやジャックを取り付ける部分に分割し、ピンヘッダで接続する構成にしています。コスト削減のためこれらを1枚の基板として設計・発注し、組み立て時に分割して使用します。設計した基板はこのような感じになりました。

こちらをプリント基板作成サービスに発注します。少しでも電池を入れる余裕を作るため、プリント基板の厚みは1mmを選択しました。

組み立ててみる

実際に届いた基板がこちらです。

こちらに部品を実装したものがこちらです。部品点数は多くはないですが、5本足のチップデュアルトランジスタやチップデュアルJFETがあるのでそれらの取り付けはちょっと神経を使います。

ボリュームポットは軸の上あたりに細いワイヤーを絡め、このワイヤーを基板のGNDと繋がっている穴にはんだ付けすることで、取り付け強度の確保とケースのアース接続を行っています。

ケースにはこのような形で収まる感じですです。

ケースへの組み込みですが、順番を間違えると収まらないので注意が必要でした。まず、ジャックをケースに取り付けて軽くねじ止めします。

続いてボリュームポットが取り付けられた側の基板を取り付けます。

ちなみに上側に取り付けられているDCジャックはケースには固定されておらず、ケースのその部分には穴を開けているだけです。DCプラグの外側（センターマイナスなので+電圧がかかるところ）が、GND（アース）に繋がっているケースに接触しないかが不安でしたが、現状特に問題はなさそうでした。

最後にフットスイッチとフットスイッチ側基板を取り付けて、フットスイッチとジャックをはんだ付けします。ここでジャックをはんだ付けしてしまうと、そのはんだを除去しない限り分解ができなくなるため注意が必要です。そのため、組み込み前に正しく動作するかをチェックしておくのが良さそうです（実際一部のハンダ付けが正しく行えておらず、組み立てたあと分解して組みなおす羽目になりました）。最後にナットをしっかり増し締めして完成です。

組みあがるとこういう感じになります（試作品と言うことで分解して部品を差し替える可能性があるので、ジャックのハンダは少しだけにしています）。

乾電池も収まります。ボリュームポットの足などをハンダ付けした部分が電池に接触するのはよろしくないので、上側の基板にはビニールテープ的なもので適切に絶縁処理を行うのが良いそうです。

こうやってあとからまとめるとすんなりできているように見えますが、実際は何度か試行錯誤しながら細かい寸法を決めるなど、なかなか難産でした。とはいえ、こういう感じで電池とともに部品一式をミニサイズケースに収めることは可能なことが分かりました。正直基板の制約が大きいのでもうこのタイプのエフェクターはしばらく作りたくはないですが……。
