Help me fix my Xtortion!?!
Bought a broken Boss XT-2 Xtortion at a shop for $15. I opened it up and Diode 5 and Cap 2 were both blown so I replaced them and it still doesn't work. It turns on but theres no bypassed or effected signal. Any ideas what could be wrong or how to troubleshoot it?

Re: Help me fix my Xtortion!?!
Boss uses electronic switching and buffers don't they? Could be one of those if there's no bypass...or a power issue? I've never seen a schematic for one so I couldn't really be more specific w/o seeing you're pedal.

heres the shematic. And I built an audio probe, and I get sound near the output, but nowhere near the input.

Depends what was plugged in to it that broke it, if it was AC, you're looking at replacing every active component in there.
Voltages needed.
