Bruce Bennet Brown Sound Static

My guitar player had this in a drawer so I decided to give it a try. Put a new battery in it and when it's switched on I get nothing but static. The bypass function still works but no sound except static when switched on. Does anyone know a quick fix or should I just throw it in the trash? I'm not a pedal guy, I've always used a processor.

Thanks,

Surprised none of the pedal makers have had this issue. Was hoping for an easy fix.

I'm no builder by any means but if you posted a picture then maybe it will be a more clearer solution to the pedals issue. It may be a loose wire or some bad solder....

I looked inside and everything appears intact. No loose wire or solder issues. Here's a pic of the inside, actually quite clean. Thanks.

Hard to say...but I'd suggest taking it to Bruce. He's in Chattanooga, at the Business Development Center on Cherokee Ave. If no help there, I'll take a look at it for you.

Thanks! I'll look him up and see what he can do, if not might be coming your way.
