A true bypass loop is simple mate.

cool, what sort of Â£$$Â£$Â£$ we talking?

sounds reasonable, will pass the info onto him and see if he wants to go forward (i think he should, so i'll get my persuading hat on).

If we can't figure it out remotely I'll either give you your money back or pay for you to ship it back to me to be fixed, it's entirely up to you.

can you plug a 9V power suply to the pedals?

Post by **Mike** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 3:39 pm

Yes. I always include a DC jack in my pedals; Boss style 2.1mm centre negative.

neither of those will be nevesary. The pedal has functioned daily and the switching function still does it's job wonderfully. Electronics fail, nature of the beast. If it needs servicing I'll handle shipping to the uk, but shipping back would be appreciated. It's my most stomped pedal, so it's bound to be the one that goes down first.

Nah, I would definitely cover the postage. It's not your fault that it's gonewrong and it's not nice to be without it.

Dude you're too kind, that's gonna be like 40-60 bucks.

So? Alls the more reason you shouldn't have to stump it up because it's not working anymore.

I know it's a popular pedal so I was planning to make a couple more if things die down anyway, I'll hold a set of chips and boards for you though.

The other I'll probably wait for an order on or do up in a Nevermind stylie to get massive bucks.

BTW... When I went to take pics I saw where it was shorting out. A slight rearrangement of the board and now all is well.

All fixt. I'm happy as a clam!

Great news, I was hoping it was just something had unscrewed and moved.
