My Guyatone BR-2 is not sounding right to me!!

I don't know what is wrong!
It has the correct power supply but it doesn't sound good to me
here is a Home video to show what I mean.

I don't know how your knobs are set but it sounds like its working. I had one but didn't really like it and got the MXR BEF instead.

JuanBass0012 · #3 03-05-2013, 10:47 PM

both knobs are at 2 o'clock

JuanBass0012 · #4 03-05-2013, 10:49 PM

I'm thinking of getting the MXR BEF again. I regret letting it go.

Nothing wrong with your BR-2, that's pretty much what they sound like.

JuanBass0012 · #6 03-05-2013, 11:34 PM

@vegas532 Shouldn't they be a little louder? I can barley hear it when i play.

I got rid of mine because of the tone suck. If both of your knobs are at 2:00, you're losing a lot of tone!

Ahhh I bought one on the assumption they were the greatest thing since sliced bread, sold it not too long after that.

JuanBass0012 · #9 03-06-2013, 12:21 AM

Any advice on how to fix this?

vegas532 · #10 03-06-2013, 01:41 AM

Sure do: MXR BEF.

I bought one a while back, it has one setting that makes a sound I like, other than that it is just a muddy mess. Makes me wonder why someone like Justin Chancellor would use one (unless his is modded).

I'm gonna get it now! I had one but I sold it a while back ago. Damn!!! Thanks

JuanBass0012 · #13 03-06-2013, 09:27 AM

I doubt that its modded. I'll try different settings. What setting did you use?

vegas532 · #14 03-06-2013, 01:07 PM

Justin's wasn't modded. If you check out older clips of Tool live, you can hear the volume drop quite a bit whenever he engaged it. It's a good thing he switched to something better.

I was going to take it apart and make it true bypass but the board is glued down in a strange way and I'm scared I'll snap it trying to remove it. I switched to a BEF instead, wonderful pedal.

Thanks!
