So a few years ago I was moving stuff around I placed a wah on the top of my amp and accidentally knocked it off. When I plugged it into test it no sound I threw it in my closet and a year later plugged it in for the hell of it and worked fine. More recently I was rearranging my board and moved my Noise Invaders fuzz and it still made a sound but not quite what it did before and the led wasn't turning on. I opened it everything seemed fine, no smoke smell, no burn marks, no sign of a shorts. Plugged it back in same thing sound but no led. I tried it right now and it works like the day I got it. Anyone have a similar experiences?

Edit: It stopped working again. It started acting like a clean boost all of sudden.

my micropog stopped working for a while. i opened it up, then closed it, and it hasn't given me a problem since.

My amp did this. It was making a godawful hissing and crackling, but I couldn't afford to fix it. So I just kept playing it at bedroom volume until one day it just stopped. Not a problem since!

i had an lpb1, that when i engaged it, the signal cut out, i took it outta my chain, then a month or two later i put it back in and its worked fine ever since

Had an Auto-Q from dunlop a few years back that wasn't functioning properly and was making noises while off. Put it up as a as is sale, and like magic it works again. Had it for a long time before I traded it. I kinda want it back for that broken pedal sound as it was kinda unique.

PM incoming. It shouldn't be behaving like that, and certainly shouldn't be acting like a clean boost.

I'll get it sorted for you.

basement flooded this week, and im not sure if any of my pedals were damaged...

they should be fine, id imagine

To pose a somewhat parallel question; don't you hate it when you show some one a pedal and your all like "Yo dawg, check this shit out, I can make it (sound like x/self oscillate/ect.)" and you hook it up and the toanz get stage fright and refuse to flow forth?

my rat did this one time, i went bananas and bought a metal-zone because i wanted something crunchy, HUGE MISTAKE, one year later the rat was ready to gig

Problems that go away by themselves come back by themselves too.

my buddy and I call this warner brother's frog syndrome.

imagine the chord progression builds up the tension, a break further intensifies it and all but Your spot light goes off - the lead part should kick in. AND fart-fart-fart-pfft goes the pedal chain. play to lead with clean signal and kick the fx chain back on with the band coming in and - everything works like it never failed. Consider pedalcide all the way to home, while friends poke fun of Your 'killer sounds'.

I loved that high gain distortion - when it worked.

^^^pretty sure I've had a nightmare akin to this.

One time I thought my pedalboard was broken but then I realized I was playing through a bunch of Effector 13 pedals.
