boss chorus problem... need advise.

Post by MKR » Thu Jan 12, 2017 11:04 am

Hey guys need advise on what to check on my boss pedal. I got a boss chorus pedal and it doesn't work. No actual chorus comes out of it. LED light works fine and when you press the pedal it turns on, but nothing actually happens. guitar sound is still dry. turning knobs does nothing as well.

anyone know what the problem could be? I'm going to take it apart and check it out, but i'm not really all that familiar with the tech. side of pedals and wiring....

Depending on which pedal it is and when it is from, some older boss pedals either need the specific old adapter (aca) or have another pedal in front of it in the daisy chain if using a modern adapter (one spot, current boss adapter).

They usually have this sticker:

Note: If it worked yesterday (or last week) and you haven't changed anything, this is not the answer.
