    Hey, new to the forum here..

    I noticed the repeats on my DMM were very distorted over the last few days. Took it to a gig over the weekend and couldn’t use it as the repeats seem to have got even more distorted. The pedal is in a true bypass looper

    Flew home and when I got the pedalboard out the DMM was the only unit that wouldn’t turn on. Tried the original power supply (my pedalboard is powered by a Voodoo Labs supply) but no luck.

    I believe this is a 90s model, knobs have the pointers.

    So it’s gone from normal operation to heavily distorted repeats now completely dead.

    Please help!

    PS. I am in London, UK if there’s anyone local that can help!

    So turns out my DMM suffered a bit of a hit during transport and a cable went loose. After a bit of soldering the unit is back to life…

    Next step is to get it calibrated.

    Repeats are distorted, by carefully fiddling with the trimpots I’ve managed to get the signal to get clearer but still not clean enough.

    Can anyone enlighten me on which trims do what?

    from left to right they seem to be doing this:

    1. Feedback/level
    2. feedback/level
    3. this trimpot seems to correct the clipping on the repeats – or add to it. too much adjusting makes repeats clip heavily then dissapear.
    4. nothing
    5. same as 3.

    Sorry I haven’t e-mailed back, away from home but quick answer;
    1)Post BBD Gain
    2)Post BBD Gain
    3)Bias
    4)Cancel
    5)Bias

    The photo is too small to trace which Gain & Bias is for which BBD though.
