barge concepts blowup

[asherthemachine]

so they didnt actually blow up, but... i have two barge blenders, a VFB-2 and a VB-jr. loved them, until the both crapped out. the VFB-2 has crazy volume issues, everything i put in the loop is extremly quiet compared to stuff not in the loop, and now the VB-jr just flat out doesnt work. its not my patch cables, its not a power issue, its not any of my other pedals. so what the **** is wrong? i love these things to death, they are/were great products till now, and a very important part to my sound. i was using one for my dirt loop, and one for delay, mods. now nothing! Any ideas or experience with the same thing? cheers

Have you emailed barge??
IMO they are very high quality pedals, so I'm suprised to hear this.

+1 Contact barge...

I've got a VB-jr. I've had no problems at all with it.

yeah i had planned on emailing them, just thought i would check here first. and i think they are very high quality as well.. kinda weird

It does sound strange... Good luck!

i'm having the exact same problem with my [bought used] VFB-2. there is a wigged out volume drop when i turn on my heamtoma OUTSIDE of the loop. i've tried every pedal and patch alone and everything sounds fine. guess i'll have to email them as well.
