Dubs Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) This one's a bit of a puzzle. I originally got this pedal in a trade from another BC member but I've hardly ever used it so it's just sat being unused for the majority of the time that I've had it. When I have used it it's been fine and worked well. I then decided to sell the pedal so tested it a couple of days before putting it up for sale and it seemed to work fine - I didn't do an extensive test, just plugged it in and made sure that it worked. So I put it up for sale and it sold nice and quick, wrapped it in bubble wrap and sent it inside its box inside a padded jiffy bag. On arrival it doesn't work... currently in the process of being sent back to me for a refund to be issued, but a video has been made of the fault for me to look at - Anyone have an idea of what could be happening?

Ou7shined Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Probably took a hefty knock and a solder joint's been broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post some pics when it arrives. I guess this isn't really a common problem or there's no known common faults with this pedal then?

Dubs Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Got no idea about this one, on the verge of gutting it for parts and binning the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It's often very easy to kill pedals by using the wrong psu or the right psu but the wrong polarity. Did you sell it with it's dedicated psu or did the buyer use his own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Why not give Max & SFX a shout. I'm sure he'll inspect it. His repair rates are VERY reasonable compared to scrapping an expensive pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
