koula901 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Took some pedals to a jamm last week and had trouble with the volume cutting out, as I turned my volume controls down. Chain is Boss SD1, Boss MD2, and Boss DD7 delay. In trouble shooting I noticed one of the problems is the delay pedal doesn't always turn on, and doesn't always turn off when I step on it. This pedal has that feature where one can step down on it, for a few seconds, to engage a loop function where you can create a loop. I think that's what the problem is, but I can't seem to disengage that function - anybody know how to disengage it? It was working just fine, until one day, I must have stepped down too long on the pedal, and engaged that function where you can tap your foot, to create the kind of delay you want. I hope this is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is clear. Well, I'm not sure how the pedal is engaging the loop function on a long press... but my intial guess is perhaps a stuck/bad relay in the circuit. Have you tried removing the internal battery, if one is present? I assume you are likely using a power supply, but sometimes if there is an internal battery and it's weak there are some funny things that can happen (even though you are also using a power supply). Otherwise, seems like could be a bad push on/push off switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Have you read the manual? Stop the hold by tapping twice on the footswitch, 1 sec apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 kbp10 - thanks, there could very well be a weak battery in there, haven't built the pedal board yet, so, not using power supply. tulk - I've read the manual -- just not lately. Thanks for sending the linke! I think that should do it, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just being facetious (forgot the smiley face). I never read the manuals. Or ask for directions, for that matter. ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
