weird problem solved

Post by foomanfat »

So, I just wired up my board last night with two new pedals (Terminal and Cloven Hoof) and all three fuzz pedals (Terminal, Cloven Hoof and Haunt) on my board have gone quiet.
My guitar signal comes through normally, so it doesn't seem to be a problem any cables, and the regular distortion (Palisades) plays at normal volume.
The Palisades, Terminal and Cloven Hoof are on one daisy chain. The Haunt is on a daisy chain with a CE-2 and Polytune Mini.
I've tried isolating the fuzzes on their own power channels to no avail.
All three pedals worked fine before I actually rewired.
If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Is it only when you turn them all on? Is it on all settings?

No, it is each individual pedal. Yeah, it is on any setting. I have to dime the volume just to get them close to unity.

Okay. I just took each pedal off the board and plugged them in totally solo, and they each work fine.
Now, I am even more baffled.

EDIT: So, I seem to have isolated a quarter inch cable that is mussing up the fuzz pedals regardless of where it is in the chain.
That seems to be the problem, but I have no earthly idea what would make that happen.

You may think it was the cable, but it is really just a sign that you should send all your fuzz to me, just to protect your signal integrity.
