Flanger hoax problems/questions.

Post by Rygot »

Alright, so I got a flanger hoax.

Just wondering if these problems may have risen during shipping or something and if anyone more experienced than me may know how to fix them.

The blended output knob doesn't do a whole lot of anything unless its all the way clockwise, even then there is still a good amount of clean signal - more than modulated it seems. Yes, I am plugged in to the blended output.

When self-oscillating, a patch cable as the only input source, some of the flanging, pulsing, phasing whatever still leaks through when bypassed.

When used after dirt it really really darkens up the tone.

I looked in and didn't notice anything that stood out, i can give gutshots but its an ehx...



Any input would help. :hug:

Im currently working on cody pole's mutron phaser. All the repairs im doing are pretty obvious things that you can see with your eye as soon as you open it up. Broken wires, dirt, loose nuts etc... you can order replacement parts online and do it yourself if you have a soldering iron. Or pm me.
