Boss BP8: They actually did a pretty good job isolating the pedals from the circuit boards with rubber pads in between. However, I have had to improve the physical contact to the pedal #1 switch by extending the 'pedal post' that pushes the switch with a small plastic sleeve. The switch was...

The little push button switches get worn or crap inside, sometimes stick 'ON' and might hang the processor. Dissemble down to the circuit board level and see how the switches operate with a small screwdriver and ohmmeter to check 'make/break resistance. Also, I've seen the plastic posts from the...

Update, all fixed:) After cleaning all the coffee and flux residue, I traced the signal path from input to the input of U37 with a signal generator and scope. I found the main problem was an intermittent circuit trace from U26-12 to U47-11 which was preventing the U37 digital audio attenuator...

Thanks a million abarson!! It's been 3 weeks since the, ahem, 'incident' so all was dry inside. I cleaned the board of any obvious residue, old flux between pins, and pulled/washed the pushbutton panel that was 'sticky'. Powers on, 12AX7 tube lights (Russian SOVTEK), senses overload, output just...

Soooo who has a schematic for the digitek BP8 they can direct me to? My bass player's girlfriend spilled a coffee into it and it's over caffeinated;) something's dead in the output area, lights work, processor works senses the input and overload, but static for outputs and headphone. He's had it...
