[HELP!] EHX Micro Synth Bass

[ghigo85]

Hi,

I have a problem. Just bought a brand new EHX Micro Synth bass...

Everything works, but when I use the Attack Delay pot the volume gets lower and already till the 2nd line (10 is maximum) I can't hear anything.
It seems to work more as aggressive volume control more than Attack Delay.

When I tried the pedal at the shops never had these problems (the test pedal, because they gave me this one new), with the same bass.

I'm doing something wrong or the pedal is broken?

That's odd. The attack delay should just introduce a delayed volume swell, as you would expect, not a volume drop. I would be tempted to say just take the pedal back to the shop and get it replaced, sounds like there's something that's gone wrong with it.

EDIT: Woah, hang on a second. Have just read your post over on TB as well. You do realise what an attack delay does don't you? It will put a delay on the note sounding, so in other words if you play fast with the slider up you may encounter the problem you're describing through no fault with the pedal. Try playing a single held note, and moving the slider about, it should become obvious what it is that it's actually doing. Then you'll be able to tell whether something is wrong with it or not.
