Members Taylor704 Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Basically, when i'm using the pedal, near the starting point of the sweep (both on volume and wah modes) it will cut straight to the top of the sweep and then back to the position it should be. It only does this briefly but when it does occur it's quite annoying. I've no idea how to fix it, as my knowledge of electric is rubbish but i've no idea of whether it's a power supply issue either (only power supply I have is a 1spot) Help?

Members seifukusha Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 dude, those sound really cool but are famous for dying and having problems, which is a shame, cause theyre a cool concept. i bought mine and it died the following week...100 bucks down the drain..

Members Taylor704 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Will have a look into the Mylar stuff, if it is the problem. Even if it was, I doubt I could change it, so i'll have a friend who knows electronics glance at it. Any other potential causes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RadioSilence Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 this the FX-17? have you tried adjusting the trim pots? they're right behind the two holes on the front, just stick a small screwdriver through and have a fiddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get it on a sweep near the bottom and moved the left trimpot but it didn't change the sound at all, yet the rest of the sweep was affected.Praying I haven't broken it.
