Hi.
I bought a used memory man a few mounths ago, and it sounds perfect.
but a few days ago a wierd problem appeard..
My DMM is plugged through the FX loop, since I use my amp’s drive (peavey windsor).
when the DMM is plugged to the chain (FX loop), a few minutes later
the volume starts to turn off. just like when you swich the amp to stand-by. and goes
on and on until it’s off. And after the volume starts to go down, no metter what, it
won’t stop. even If I turn of or take the DMM off the chain.
I tried to play without the DMM (off the chain since the begining) and it works
perfectly for hours, just like it supposed.
I read on the internet that this problem exsits with several analog pedals who go throgh
FX loop, and that can be fixed. but, of course, couldn’t find the way to fix it, befor
I spend a lot of money on a proffesional fix.
so, what can I do?
Don’t put it in the FX loop. It’s not designed for that kind of a signal.
so how, for exemple, eric johnson who used his plexi’s drive, and who put his DMM, same model as mine, in the loop, and according to the results it works just fine? (not complaining.. just wondering =])
I dunno. His has probably been modified.
for some reason, now, after I took it off the FX loop and put it between the guitar and preamp, it still reduce the amlifire’s volume. either clean or dist (on the dist I turn off the delay option, to get the boost only).
any solution for this problem?
Probably screwed up one of the gain stages.
any chance it could be fixed? (sorry to bother you that much ><)
I’m sure it’s fixable. You’ll just need to find a tech to go trough it.
