Pedal Repair

Post by bugzaney »

Any recommendations on somewhere I can send a pedal to get looked at/repaired? maybe a ILF-er??

Got a vintage small stone from a friend but one of the wires for the battery clip isn't attached so i got a 9v to 1/8" converter tip. when the pedal isn't engaged it passes my guitar signal, but when it's engaged it no sound comes out.


help? :?:

Which version do you have? (Green/black/silver) The in/outs are switched on the really old ones I believe, so you may have it hooked up backwards.
Also, are you powering it by itself, or with other pedals on a onespot/power supply?

Prob wont help then. It would have been the black or green ones with the jacks flipped.
