Custom Bally KISS Sound Board
Last Updated: 01Oct24
This is my plug-and-play Custom Bally KISS AS-2518-50 Pinball Sound Board. The board is simple to install. No
extra wiring or modifications are needed. Just remove the old AS-2518-50 sound board and install mine. It
could not be simpler. I have the background playing when the game starts and it stops when the game ends.
You can change songs with an optional push button mounted to the front of the cabinet. I have custom sounds
(random 1 of 5) attached to each of the tunes (power-up, coin-up, start game, KISS bonus, tilt, and end
game). I have pyrotechnic explosions attached to the pop-bumpers and cymbal crashes attached to the
sling-shots. And that's not all! I have attract sounds that play every 3 minutes when a game is not being played.
I bet you will never be able to sit through a stock sounding game again. This Custom KISS Sound Board is my most
popular board. See the link to more information and reviews at the bottom of this page.
Overview:
This design uses current technology to replicate the old sound board and add custom sound features. Although
the board can be configured to sound stock, it is intended to be used for the custom sounds. All the sounds
are contained in WAV files on the on-board MicroSD card.
The board has the following stock features:
1. It utilizes the same machine mounting.
2. It is a plug-and-play direct replacement, utilizing the same power as the stock board.
3. It contains a volume knob to adjust the level of board's amplifier.
My design has extra features:
1. All the chimes, tunes, sound effects, quotes, music, and backgrounds are customizable as they are WAV files on a MicroSD card.
2. An EXTRA SOUNDS volume knob to turn on and mix the extra sounds not included in the stock machine.
3. A BACKGROUND volume knob to turn on a repeating background sound not included in the stock machine.
4. You can specify custom attract sound file(s) to play when the game is at rest.
5. There are 4 sets of customizable sound banks available.
6. All the sounds are played overlapping (polyphonic). This includes the stock scoring sounds.
7. Two-pin header attached to Test Button for changing the song during game play. See cable assembly at end of this page.
Check out one of my YouTube videos on the operation of the board in a KISS machine:
Here is a close up of my Custom Bally KISS sound board. This board will only work in the Bally KISS pinball
machine. It will do very little in any other -32/-50 sound board machine. Click on the image to see it in higher detail.
