    Just got it through the post… and its broked at the mo.

    Half the circuit board became detached upon opening, but easily connected back into place

    At the moment the blend knob acts as a volume but in reverse. Nothin else really happens elsewhere

    Any quick fix ? I see a few mention probs & solution so wondered if I was missing something here… ???

    trim pots reveal nothing.

    cheers

    I have a similar problem (blend acting as backward volume, no other knobs working), but only when a power supply is plugged in. I have tried it with two different power supplies which work with other pedals, including EHX ones… It works OK with a battery.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks…

    If the secondary board was detached after being shipped then it will behave exactly as you described, the BLEND control works as a backwards volume pot. When you re-attach the secondary board make sure all of the pins line up correctly with the socket on the main board.

    If it still doesn’t work, the secondary board may be damaged.

    What is the polarity of the power supplies? Make sure it’s center negative.

    Thanks Flick,
    I’m pretty sure the power supply is centre negative, as it works with all my other pedals. I tried a few other power supplies, and I think they all did the same thing.

    I’ll check again though (and check if the boards are in right while I’m there)

    thanks,
    Cameron
