Title: NGD
Post by: Harley Hexxe on May 23, 2017, 11:34:55 AM
I got both of the Delay units I bought off Evil-bay today...

   The Digitizer 4 very well packaged and working like a champ with the DS 4 foot switch, and a cable. Great purchase for $99.00
 :crazy:

   The 2.56i on the other hand wasn't packaged as well, and won't power up. I tried another fuse in it and still no life, bummer!

    I contacted the seller and he says to send it back and he'll refund my purchase. I'd rather keep it if I can get it going again.
    I'm pretty sure rough handling during shipping is the reason it's not working, any suggestions if there might be something I can look at and see if I can get it working?
    You don't see too many of these delays around.

Start with measuring the voltages over the 3 big caps.

Okay,

   I opened it up and found a plug into the board had come loose. I connected it, and WHAM! we have power!!! :whoohoo!:

    So it's a good day after all

Aha!  Beat me to it.   I was gonna say "open it up and have a look-see; maybe something obvious and easy to figure out!" 
Good score mi amigo.  :thumb-up:

I got a chance to audition the 2.56i for a little bit last night, apparently the troubles aren't over...

  It does it's delays,(echoes), but the pitch keeps modulating, even with the controls rolled off, and there is a very present and distinct "Tick" each time the delay cycles a new repeat. It looks like I'm going to have to get into this beasta bit deeper to find out what's wrong.
   Oh well, good thing I have a soldering station on the way too. ;D

Nah....I was just kidding. You'll probably be able to figure it out in no time.
