    Hi, i had a Big muff pi USA ordered a while ago, i picked it up today and brought it home, and when i plugged it in to play, it did not work!
    whenever i step on the switch, it just cuts the sound out. i’ve tried 4 different 9v batteries in the thing and none of them fix the problem. as soon as i plug the instrument into the input, the light goes on really dim, and just fades out and there is no sound.
    this is very inconvenient, and i was wondering if anybody has had a similar problem, or knows how to fix this.
    also, i’d try a 9v adapter, but the one i have does not fit in the back of the input.

    Thanks in advance!

    That’s an unusual problem, especially w/ the LED coming on then fading out.

    If you have a voltmeter you can check for 9vdc on the circuit board where the red wire goes from the DC jack to the board. If it’s there, then unsolder the wire from the board and check for 9vdc at the jack end.

    Report back.
