Are you sure you are connecting it with a TSR (Stereo) jack, the dip-switches are set correctly (refer to the manual for this) and the power-supply is plugged in correctly?

If you answer yes to all of this, send an email to SA, their customer service is top notch.

Does your syb-5 work fine when you hook up an expression pedal to it.

Make sure the 1/4" expression jack and the wall power supply are the only things connected to the HH3 when you try it at first. Do not connect the quad conductor cable. If you need it to modulate both the Boss and SA pedals, pull out your manual and make sure you configure the HH3 receiver to send information over both outputs. This is detailed on page 11 of the HH3 manual.

Yeah, the syb works completely fine. I have actually discovered the issue, my trs cable was a bit old and I didn't realise it was frayed at one end, therefore no signal was being sent haha. But thanks for the help everyone.

Make sure that the receiver is not surrounded by metal. Power cycle the receiver and ring. This is very unusual.

Turn receiver on first. Also get the ring close the the receiver when you turn it on.
