Home › Forums › Help/Technical Questions › Ground problem with this Wiggler?
Hi, I’m David from Spain.
I received today a second hand Wiggler that basically doesn’t work.
The rate led is on, the signal goes clean through it but you can’t get the effect.
I tried with the original power supply, the one from English Muffn, replacing the bulbs…still the same.
Pressing the switch does nothing, you only can get the effect when you press the enclosure in a way that it’s in contact with the pcb. It this mean that It’s a ground problem? You also can get the effect by pressing down the input cable or connecting and disconnecting the input/output cable. By the way, It makes a horrible sound, It can’t be a good sign.
Well, please take a look to the attached video. It includes some pictures of some suspecting points of the pcb (I guess It maybe was “fixed” before)
If you can post photos of your wiggler guts to compare with mine or help in someway, I’ll be very very grateful.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English!
Your English is great.
That is a great sounding pedal and you should get it fixed.
It is a high voltage pedal and extreme care should be used when opening as shorting out the board with the metal case can kill the pedal in an instant.
PLEASE contact service they can can that back up and running for you
Please write service. 9-5 NYC time Monday through Friday:

Thanks you, I know it wasn’t very safe so I didn’t touched anything even with the pedal off, I only opened it to see if everything was in order.
I found a local amp technician who is gonna check the pedal, I can’t send it to the States because It will be expensive for a second hand pedal.
