Mellowtone Dirty Chan/Clean Chan

Post by UncleBBQ »

So I have one.
I LOVE IT.
It is literally my secret weapon on my bass board.
As of last band practice, it stopped working properly. With it on my board, my whole signal gets choked into this very silent hum. With the clean side activated, the signal goes away completely and with the dirty side, nothing happens.
If I have both active, I get my original tone at regular volume.
Does anyone know who would repair one of these? I sent it with my guitarist to show his tech guy but I don't want shit to get more screwed up.
:cry: HELP!

I also love my CC/DC.
Absolutely one of my favorite pedals.
It just does exactly what I want in a perfect way.

Can't help you with the repair, but there's one on eBay for $100 right now?
Good luck with it, I hope you can get it up and running.

I'd have to double check, but...
Bypass is fine, 1 channel cuts out the signal, 1 channel barely has output, both on is the bypassed signal?

GUT SHOTS!


Also could be a bad stomp switch. Have had it happen with several pedals. Signal dies down, wiggle that bitch a bit and it works. Bad connection, failing switch. They are easy to replace.

This happened to me at one point. I can't remember what it was though.... I will think about it and try to remember haha.

It is fixed now, but modded with led's and knobs...

Mine has LEDs as well.
I'm thought with the original run you had the option of getting them for a bit extra?

Sounds almost exactly like what is happening with mine.

Something screwy going on with the wiring, probably could have fixed myself but didn't want to risk killing it! So happy it's back on the board :joy:
