My SansAmp Paradriver broke!

Sign in to disble this ad
I have no idea what happened to this thing! I've had it for like a year or so now I guess, never once had a problem with it, now that I've loaded it onto my new pedal board, it doesn't work, doesn't send a signal through the circuitry at all. I opened it up, sniffed around to see if anything smelled like it was fried or burnt, didn't smell anything. I was gonna take the PCB off until I realized that i didn't know how to do that.

It doesn't work when it's plugged into a power supply, or when there's a battery in, and it only sends a signal through the Parallel out. Anyone have any suggests or know something I should check? I've got a backup Bass Driver DI, and I still have my Prog Deluxe I've dialed a decentish distortion into, but I want my Para back.

I'd post pictures, but being the scrub I am, I left it at the practice space, and nothing looks visibly wrong from the normal back plate access area.

The only thing I can imagine is that I had plugged it into the 18v part of my DC brick for about 2 hours for a practice until I got my one spot, but after I was done I unplugged it, and the battery I had in there still sent a signal through it, so I figured it was fine. It hadn't been plugged in between that practice and the one yesterday when i found out it doesn't work.

Sounds to me like you fried it. But, it's not here, and I'm not a tech, so it's just a guess.

Sounds like initiation into the SansSansamp Club.
