Sweet looking PRS. Congrats.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. The last couple of times I’ve used it, it has worked fine. No telling when it will act up again. It would be better if it just crapped out completely. I’m sure that would make it easier to troubleshoot. I finally heard from Digitech today and I’m on my own. They referred me to some authorized service centers, none of which are anywhere near me. So by the time I pay for the repair and the shipping, it’s not worth the effort. So I’m on my own.

It powers up fine. In bypass mode, the signal goes through it fine. When engaged, it works fine for awhile, then the signal cuts out, but both LEDs are still lit. And it will also work if I activate the Temporary On/Off switch and apply pressure to the switch. As soon as I disengage the switch, the signal cuts out. When I’m done playing for the day, I unplug the pedal board. When I plug it in the next day, it will work fine again the entire time, other times cutting out after a few minutes. I have checked all the pedals and cables in the signal chain separately so I’m 99% certain it’s the Drop pedal. Thanks for the heads up on the surface mounted components. I have worked with them in the past, but they definitely test the limits of my soldering skills.

I remember seeing a few guys who have posted here indicating that they repair/build guitar pedals. I could possibly use their assistance. I have a Digitech Drop pedal (very little use, but out of warranty) that I am having issues with and need assistance with troubleshooting. The owners manual doesn’t help. I contacted Digitech through their website, received confirmation that they received my inquiry, but have not received any further contact from them. I queried both YouTube and Google, but could not find anything relating to my issue or anyone here in the Austin area who repairs guitar pedals. I have a basic knowledge of electronics, a soldering station/tools, multi-meter, etc., so I can make my own repairs if they are not too complicated. I just need to know what to look for. If there is anyone out there who thinks they can assist me, please send me a PM. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Only $49k? I’m all in. Not! I have always been a James Cagney fan, but not that much. Sorry.

Sad news. I always liked April Wine. Saw them live at the California World Music Festival at the L.A. Coliseum in 1979. Great performance.

Very nice.

A very tempting offer, but it’s entirely too cold thereabouts. 😁
