HELP!? dead Zoom Ultra Fuzz

Post by doommeow »

As I wrote over here - http://ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=37400 - my Ultra Fuzz is toast. What was once a pedal with a dead LED is now just dead, not passing any signal at all. :cry:

Do any of you scholars and gentlepersons have the skills, knowledge, and time to diagnose and hopefully repair this once beastly fuzz? It's mass produced, so I'm going to guess that all of the parts are SMD.

Maybe a builder or DIYer that would be willing to help me out for a chance to trace a semi-rare circuit and a few bucks?

Help me, Obi Wan?

I had a Black Russian muff on which the led died. A week later the switch went on it. :idk:

I can fix it. not sure what has gone wrong. I hope to get a minimum fee and shipping paid even if you decide the cost of repair is too much. or if it is totally fucked we can leave it dead on my bench so you pay nothing and I don't have to waste time shipping dead shit. I think you should discharge your body static on something like a metal computer chassis and flip the board over for pictures.
