Members broken bricks Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 hey, i just got a guyatone md3 delay and after using it for about half an hour the LED light started to get dimmer and dimmer, eventually not lighting up at all when its on. It worked normally for a little longer and pretty soon all it would do is start self oscillating really faintly, and if i turn up the level knob it hisses like crazy.so i figured it was just the stock battery needing to be replaced and went out and bought a new battery. it worked normally for a little and is now doing the same thing. should i just send it back, or am i doing something wrong here? i cant imagine this thing eating batteries that fast...im pretty new to all this so any advice is greatly appreciated.
