    Yep. It bit the big one.The most annoying thing is that it kills the rest of the pedal power. Dunno.
    When it's a solo pedal, the instrument signal passes through when off and is all gonemwhen engaged. When it's in the pedalboard chain, none of the pedals work at all; it absorbs all the power from everything and has no signal whether on or off.
    Checked the switch with a meter and it's fine. Dunno enough to check anything else.

    Do you or someone you love have any ideas on this? Or any experience, strength and hope on getting repairs from Dunlop? I feel icky when I don't have my phaser nearby.

    bummer, I just bought one from a pawn shop the other day, it's a great sounding pedal, I'm sure it's just a loose connection somewhere, good luck. Sorry I'm of no help to you, just wanted you to know I feel your pain,as useless as that is to you :)

    Your pedal is shorting out. I'm not sure of the configuration in a Dunlop pedal but the foot switch is probably switching the power as well as providing signal bypass. If you can access the switch and the PCB, I would look around for anything contacting the solder joints that shouldn't be. The switch may have failed internally and grounded the power switching pole to its chassis. How did you test the switch?

    Could also be a shorted diode...

    The footswitch does not switch the power.

    Yup, you're right...power is a ground switch on the input jack. Still, something is shorting out. Hopefully not a diode but anything can be fixed.

    Bummer, sorry avvie. I love me that one knob pedal that goes from good to gooder.
