No Sound or Intermittent Audio

• Check all audio cables for proper connection and ensure they are not damaged.
• Verify the power supply is correctly connected and providing sufficient power (9V DC, 500mA minimum).
• Ensure the 'Active' footswitch is engaged (LED illuminated).
• Test with different cables, instruments, and amplifiers to isolate the issue.

Unexpected Parameter Changes

• If parameters change randomly, ensure no external MIDI messages are being sent to the unit unintentionally.
• Verify that the expression pedal or auxiliary switch is not faulty or sending erroneous signals.
• Ensure presets are saved correctly after making adjustments. Some users have reported instances where settings might not save as expected; always double-check after saving.

Power Input Socket Issues

• If the power input feels loose or connection is intermittent, this may indicate a physical issue with the socket. Contact Eventide support for repair options. Do not attempt to repair yourself if you are not qualified, as this may void your warranty.
