workman bb-3 echo


Found this with a quick search.

red wire, 12 volt, black wire ground, inner shielded wire, audio input, outer shielded wire, audio output. VR 1 audio adj, vr 2 echo range adj very simple hookup
Hope it helps
 
I am not sure what the hook up problem is. you only have a red and black wire that goes to ground and power. red to positive, black to board ground. then you have 2 black leads that are coax. for the audio hook up.the center wire in the coax goes to the audio wire of the mic plug. the ground of the lead goes to the shield wire at the mic socket. the only problem you will have if it is not marked in and out on the board for the coax is getting the center lead hooked up properly. hook the audio into the echo board to the audio pin of the mic socket, then hook the audio out wire to the wire you removed from the mic socket.. if it does not work you may have hooked the in and out to the echo backwards. you should have received a plugin jumper to remove the control for the echo so you can eliminate the external control if you want to make the echo fixed.
what 222dbfl posted is the same thing I just posted for you. I have several of these echo's in my parts bin and do not have any instructions with them either. but that is how I hook mine up.I have some of the 1st versions and they have a VR on the board to adjust the echo after install if you get too much drive from the echo to tone it down. mine are not the workman brand of the BB-3. they are the same.

I had one these and was not impressed. If I remember correctly there is a red and a yellow wire. Both leads can hook to a 13.8 volt source. Then it's just a standard input output shield hookup preferably through Mike gain.
