    Hi there, i have just obtain myself a vintage memory man (solid state echo/chorus) and currently encountering the volume drop problem.

    It just that, i noticed a subtle volume drop (mainly around 30%) when i engaged the pedal in.
    I do play with the blend knob but still didnt work out.

    So, i’d like any of those EH “specialist” over here cud help me. Im open to any suggestions.

    here is a picture of my effect (got it over the internet)

    Is the drop in the dry signal or the delayed signal?

    I found it to be on BOTH dry and wet signal…

    having problem to balance them…

    if i go too dry, i wont hear the repeats (or mainly only 10% volume), which does not fit the purpose of a delay pedal at all..

    if i go too wet, then i dont hear the guitar “direct” signal at all, only the repeats can be heard…and still the repeats are not as loud as i expect (80% volume) but this is quite exceptional for repeats…

    if i balanced it (i.e blend knob pointing to star sign as in the above picture), both direct out and repeats can be heard but I notice that the sound wont be that loud (80% or less) – yet this is my favorite setting, only i dont like that volume drop problem

    any suggestion to modify this pedal? (i.e boost the output, install output level switch etc?)

    Sounds like it needs to go to a tech. That kind of drop isn’t normal.
