Troubleshooting

• No Power to Pedals:
  • Ensure the main power adapter is securely plugged into both the pedalboard and a working wall outlet.
  • Verify that each pedal's DC power cable is correctly connected to the appropriate voltage output on the power supply.
  • Check if the power supply indicator lights are on. If not, try a different power outlet.
• Noise/Hum:
  • Ensure all cables are properly shielded and not running parallel to power cables for long distances.
  • The built-in power supply features short-circuit protection and is designed for quiet operation. If hum persists, check individual pedals or other components in your signal chain.
• Pedals Not Sticking:
  • Ensure the adhesive hookside tape is firmly pressed onto the pedal and the pedalboard.
  • Clean the bottom of the pedals and the pedalboard surface before applying tape to remove any dust or debris.
