Default delay pedal problems
bought a BOSS DD-3 Delay Pedal off eBay a few days ago.

received it yesterday and have found it doesn't work.
tried a different lead at either end in case it was them at fault. no difference.
the red light comes on so it's not the battery.

basically, the pedal works fine but...there's no delay.


anyone got any ideas what it might be??? or know how i could fix it??


it'll teach me for buying stuff off ebay i spose, but even so...any help would be ace.

Sounds like it's just broke, contact the seller and say you want a refund.

If the nob on the left it turned to the extreme left. Turn all the nos just past center to the right hand side and set the delay to 800. If it doesnt delay, then aye, yer pedal is probably fucked.

Also obvious,.....but try replacing the battery. I know the red light is on, but I've bought a couple of Marshall pedals recently, and the batteries in them only lasted about 1 min (no joking)...possibly been lying about the shop for ages. The lights were on, but the effect was dying....one new battery later and all was well.

Worth trying, just in case.
