same damn problem happened again. volume drop out of nowhere for no reason.

goddamnit!

I’m not dropping another $24 on this thing but I flipping love it which kills me

EH Man, regardless of the problem here, what’s the fix? Sending it back to EH?

I sent my Memory Boy back and they had a quick turnaround and I’ve had no problems since.

My only complaint would be as follows and I’d be interested in your opinion on it as well—why does the customer have to pay $12 for shipping? It’s not a lot for a repair, but if it’s under warranty and a pedal costs about $100, then you’re paying more than 1/10th of the cost of the pedal for something that should be fixed for free.

I understand things will happen and toys will break but it shouldn’t be at the expense of the customer.

thanks for the ideas. appreciate it.

I don’t have another adapter but I can’t see how that could be the problem since all of my other pedals work just fine off it if I pull them out of the chain and run them solo.

No battery in it and I don’t have a battery clip converter thing either.

I’ve never tried to run it on battery. Maybe I’ll see if that works by itself.

Thought I’d check back in here

Got it back from EHX yesterday. About a 2 week turnaround. Same unit that I gave them as it still has the same scratches and velcro on it. Works just fine now but no note in box, no indication of what went wrong and it cost me $12 to ship it to them and another $12 to get it shipped back even though I’ve only owned it for 9 months (inside their 1 year warranty if I remember right).

Anywho, I’m not unhappy since it was a gift and $12 each way ain’t too much but all in all, uh, it should have probably worked right, it would have been cool if they paid my shipping and it would have been really cool if they told me what they repaired so I’d have an idea of what broke in case it breaks again.

Still love it and their products, that’s my unsolicited feedback is all.

back to nerding out now

Howdy Again. Been a while so I thought I’d update this one.

Got a new amp now. Fender Humboldt Blues Junior. This thing rips and makes my pedals really come alive. It’s almost like starting over again in some ways which is great for me.

I have an even longer and more ridiculous chain of pedals now. It looks like this currently.

Tele->Dunlop Crybaby->XO Worm—>Boss Blues Driver->MXR Dist III->Big Muff Pi NYC->MXR Fullbore Metal-> Micro Metal Muff->-Electric Mistress->MXR Phase 90—>MXR Carbon Copy->EHX Memory Boy->EXH LPB-1->Boss RC-2 Looper->VOX AMP & Fender Blues Junior

I also have a BYOC Confidence Boost in an enclosure and made into a real pedal that is great, especially in conjunction with the EHX LPB-1. I’ll pull one of those off and throw the BYOC CB in the mix for fun but it has yet to find a permanent place. Probably gonna ditch the MXR Fullbore. Good idea but just sounds so compressed and weird. Metal Muff is more fun for me.

Ok, after my rambling, here is my question.

My Big Muff NYC is sounding more and more hissy and crackly just when I turnt it on and I’m not playing. Tried it with a battery, no better or worse. Different outlets, taking it out of the chain, no better. Going from single coils to humbuckers, no difference really.

I know they’re noisy beasts but either I’m imagining it or mine is getting worse. I’m handy enough to check the board inside and the connections all look great. What could be the cause?
