Holiest Grail.... Not doing so much reverb

Sign in to disble this ad
Sooo, I took my pedal on a roadtrip for a show with no problems, I get back home and after spending a night in my gig bag it decides to start clicking rather indiscriminately, with slight changes in the tone of these obnoxious clicks as I mess with the switches (but even with input gain at 0% it clicks).

I picks up my bass, this much I have figured out, but it's the same results I get when messing with the knob. I get to make my clicks have have different timbre. WOOOO!!

So uhh... Any idea how I can fix this thing? I have no idea what caused the problem or I might know where to start looking.

So, just when you're playing notes and stuff it clicks or when you change a bank or bypass it?

I owned one and noticed that when I moved stuff (sliders, banks, etc.), there would be a pop, especially when I changed banks. I got rid of mine immediately...

This kind of thing is not really user-fixable, even if you know how to work a soldering iron. It's digital, and all the discrete analog components are almost certainly surface mount (which means tiny). I would guess that the DSP chip is dead. You'll need to get it fixed by somebody who knows how to work on these specific units - not a regular guitar tech at your local music shop. Check out EHX's website to find their usual avenues for getting it repaired.

And it just has a consistent click, same tempo, nonstop as long as it's plugged in, and I don't get any noise normally when I'm moving sliders.

:/ that's a pity... I guess its time to get out my checkbook.
