Sign in to disble this ad
OK, so the large doberman decides to "christen" my pedal board, a Furman. I now have and MXR Flanger that won't do anything. An MXR Distortion III that squeals, an MXR Phase 90 that isn't quite sure what to do.
Any way to clean them? Does anyone know if Dunlap will fix them, "at a cost of course."
Anyone know how to wire the board so if he doe's it again, he get's shocked where it counts?

You might be looking at having to replace them all though.

We went on break and some guy went up to the mic to do his Rodney Dangerfield impression. The whole time he was doing it he was spilling beer on our guitarist's pedal board. |

Usually works like a charm with mobiles. Effect pedals shouldn't be much different.

When I used to play outdoor paintball, we would play in the rain, with electronic markers. The things would lock up and go all haywire, So we'd fill the grip with contact cleaner, drain it and let it dry, then soak it purified water and let dry for a couple of days in warm dry area. Should work for you, but no guarantees. |

I'd actually set the alarm on it and when it woke me up I was still half-asleep trying to turn it on and dropped it in a pint of stale beer. It was funny listening to it trying to bleep through the beer though, it did those Hollywood-electronics-soaked-in-beer noises. I never knew the movies were so realistic. |

This will discourage visiting dogs, wishing to mark their territory. |

too much stigma | Well, to tell the truth, I seldom use effects (like never) on Bass, I used these for guitar mostly.
Well with the 2 of them around, and they are house dogs. I don't worry much about people coming over to "barrow" my stuff while I'm out.
