    so they didnt actually blow up, but... i have two barge blenders, a VFB-2 and a VB-jr. loved them, until the both crapped out. the VFB-2 has crazy volume issues, everything i put in the loop is extremly quiet compared to stuff not in the loop, and now the VB-jr just flat out doesnt work. its not my patch cables, its not a power issue, its not any of my other pedals. so what the **** is wrong? i love these things to death, they are/were great products till now, and a very important part to my sound. i was using one for my dirt loop, and one for delay, mods. now nothing! Any ideas or experience with the same thing? cheers:confused:

    Have you emailed barge??
    IMO they are very high quality pedals, so I'm suprised to hear this.

    i'm having the exact same problem with my [bought used] VFB-2. there is a wigged out volume drop when i turn on my heamtoma OUTSIDE of the loop. i've tried every pedal and patch alone and everything sounds fine. guess i'll have to email them as well.
