So pretty much the Menatone Red Snapper is my go-to OD. Dangerous Ponies generally plays jangly indie pop, and when i need a little bit of that extra pizzaz i kick on my red snapper. it's transparent, it's perfect. Perfect. Well, the other day at practice i noticed a significant drop in my clean volume from direct and my pedal chain.. I end my chain with my tuner, which has a good buffer, and has never failed me before. So i retraced the steps, and sure enough my clean was cut in half through the snapper... now i know that it's a true bypass, but it had never done that before. i figured it'd be the footswitch, so i replaced it. But that just made it not work. Fuck. So i'm gonna call menatone and ask if they can like speed fix it to me if i ship it tomorrow, because i'm cutting guitar on the dangerous ponies record July 9th & 11th.
If the pedal doesn't make it back to me in time is there anybody out there who could possibly lend me their Red Snapper? It's dire.
i will love you forever and send you kisses and goodies pleassseeee hellppp meeeeee

I can't help with your most unfortunate plight but do you remember in UHF (the movie) they had the "wheel of fish" and that lady tried to win a red snapper but Kuni gave her the option of "what's in the box" and there was nothing there and then she lost everything.......

I bet you just wired the footswitch wrong. Easy to do. Give it another go...

What happened with the Snapper? Did you get it back?
Also, how about a Singing Tree? Do they get transparent enough?
