A/DA Flanger problem

I`have problems with an old A/DA Flanger.

When I got it it was completely silent. The 16v power supply was dead and output jack broken. I fixed those but now the sound is weak and has lot of noise. The bypass works fine. I tested resistors, trimpots and potentiometers with multimeter and those seem to be fine.

Any ideas where to look next? I`m still learning guitar electronics so any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

You could always send it back to them and have them service it. Thy are back in production.

I got a new flanger last year and the reissue's are killer they also have the final phase back in production which sounds crazy good.

nevermind

The reason I suggested them is because that is a collectable pedal that is actually worth something but it won't be if it winds up hacked. There are plenty of folks who can fix it for you (like richard Lingenberg) and retain some value while making it playable again. I'm not sayin you couldn't do it, it just might benefit from having the right hands on it. Also, since a/da is back in production it might be best to have them take a look at it. All of this is my opinion though and you can do what you feel. I just know that if I was buying that pedal I would not pay nearly what I would had it have been groomed by the right guys with documentation.

Thanks!I had a similar problem with a reissue I bought new years ago. It intermittently went very weak on me with lots of crackling, sometimes when engaging the effect, sometimes when disengaging it. My tech replaced the on/off switch with a more robust one, and I haven't had a problem since.

I`m not going to randomly change parts. If I can`t find the broken part, I`ll hand it to someone else. Unfortunately this pedal seems to have been hacked many times before me so no loss there.

Bypassing the switch entirely is my next task. I tested the switch with multimeter and it seems to be working but I`ll try bypassing it anyway.

If that doesn`t help I`ll try audio probe -> http://www.diystompboxes.com/wiki/index.php?title=Debugging
