Members p00n Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 It sometimes freezes on patches, displays wierd numbers and simply {censored}s with me. Does anyone else's act this way? It's a Jetpacks modded XP1000 btw, and I'm running it with a Cioks AC10 fwiw, but it also exhibits this sort of strange behaviour with it's original adapter. But it only started acting up after I used the Cioks. Hopefully I didn't fry {censored}, technically it should run just fine. 9V AC 800mA is more than the 500mA it requires. I'm thinking the stoppers limiting the maximum sweep of the treadle are slipping, so it can't register values past that point properly. The Cioks juts out a little below the PT, so I added stoppers under the board to prop it up, and the foam on the PT hardcase exerts pressure on the treadle. I've moved the treadle stoppers closer to the fulcrum and it glitches less, but it still glitches once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 Do the calibration. That should fix it up. You should be able to find the manual through Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I calibrate it every time I take it out of the case, but it still occasionally glitches. Sometimes it freezes at the calibration screen or immediately after the calibration.

Members deftoneboy Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 I've owned mine for 4 years and never had any problems with it either, also always used the original digitech psu with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 C'mon Digitech XP owners! I eventually sold mine about 6 months ago. Calibrating always put mine straight. Sorry to hear you're having issues with yours. Great pedal, but I needed the $ to afford my TTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear you're having issues with yours. Great pedal, but I needed the $ to afford my TTE. It's such a great swiss army knife of strangeness. It's a massive addition to my tonal palette, but I just need to get it working right with my rig, reliability issues would be a dealbreaker.

Members vulcaniza P Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 i own the space station and it sometimes scrolls through the presets all by itself. when this occurs i just unplug the power from the unit, plug it back in and it usually behaves. doubt this helps but....

Members p00n Posted August 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 It's as if it has a mind of it's own. I plugged it in again, and it was fine for a while, then glitched badly no matter what I did. I popped the casing open, admired it's guts, and it worked perfectly again with both power supplies. I'll try again tomorrow and see if it still behaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
