MXR Blowtorch switch sometimes cuts sound

Sign in to disble this ad
Recently, my Blowtorch started acting a little strange. Sometimes, when I turn it on, the LED lights up in clear blue, but no sound goes through the pedal. Other times, it works as it should. Any idea what could be wrong? Might it be an easy fix?

Thanks.

I had a similar problem with a Blowtorch I repaired a while ago. It was problem with the boost switch. The contacts were oxidized. I recommend you clean the boost switch with some contact cleaning spray. It should do the trick.
