So i recently got this pedal, probably less than a month and i haven’t been playing it all that much either. But when i turned it on the other day, it wasn’t making any sounds. The red light was on and the volume was up, and when i turned it off, it bypassed fine and i could hear the clean tone from my amp.
Im using the battery on the pedal, but i dont think thats the problem as the red light is on.
Also, a day after the original faulting, i managed to get the pedal working, but it seeemed to sound different to me, as though the sustain was not fully there even when i had it turned up all the way. And then the next day it returned to its faulty state.
Im not sure what the problem is, but im pretty dissapointed as i didn’t get a warranty on it and havent been able to play much on it. pleaaaase heeeeelp
The EH ManModeratorFirst things first. Try a new battery. LEDs only need a few volts to light but a Big Muff needs all 9 to work properly.

also, probably sounds dumb, but what batteries would i need and where exactly do they go. i can’t seem to figure out how to open the compartment on the back.
