Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pedal does not respond. | Incorrect cable connection or faulty cable. | Ensure the 6.35mm TRS stereo cable is securely connected to both the footswitch and the audio device. Try a different TRS cable. |
| LEDs do not light up. | The connected device may not be supplying power or the pedal is not properly recognized. | Verify that your audio device is powered on and its footswitch input is active. Consult your audio device's manual for external footswitch compatibility and settings. |
| Footswitch functions are reversed or incorrect. | The connected audio device may interpret the footswitch signals differently. | Refer to your audio device's manual for settings related to external footswitches (e.g., normally open/closed, tip/ring assignment).
