Ashdown Hyperdrive problem

Sign in to disble this ad
Yesterday i was recording with the ashdown lomenzo hyperdive pedal, then took it to jam. shortly after setting it up at the jam, the on/off switch stopped working. I've only had the pedal about 6 months, and it's always been in a pedal case since i got it.
anyone else had this problem with ashdown stuff?

Yep. I have an Ashdown Envelope Filter that the switch is a bit flaky at times. I also had the Dual Band Compressor and that switch just died after a couple months, felt normal just did not make the circuit engage. Good equipment just crappy switches IMO.

Bother. I just bought their chorus pedal and have had my eye on a couple more of their pedals. Hope I don't have the same issue.

i got the chorus and envelope filter pedals at the same time and haven't had a problem with either. but i do use the hyperdrive a lot more hopefully it'll be fairly cheap to fix

I've had this problem with my Hyperdrive. It's not happened that often but it's not all that reliable.
