I won one of eBay that arrived today. It's absolutely wicked, and I can get some really great sounds out of it.

Two quirks though: Is the LED supposed to be "dynamic sensitive?" Mine lights/dims slowly or rapidly, depending on the effect level. It's just annoying.

My only other issue is one of the pots is scratchy, which is odd because the thing is close to brand new. Would some cleaning with Deoxit suffice, or are they sealed?

TIA

Tim

I don't know about the scratchy pot, though I would imagine cleaning it would fix it. I'm pretty sure the LED pulses in time with the speed of the "shimmer" setting. I usually use it with the shimmer all the way down, so the LED doesn't pulse. The speed of the shimmer is controlled by the "rate" knob.

+1 to the above. Great pedal, sort of a 2 fer 1 with the "shimmer". Try using the cleaner, it can't hurt.
