Title: My Boss MT-2 Just Get Sick
Post by: Agung Kurniawan on December 09, 2016, 08:20:37 AM
Hi guys,
I just dont get it why my favourite pedal get sick :(
When I play along with my almighty MT-2 nothing is wrong with the distorted sound until I step on it and turn it off.

When I switch it off (its hard to me to say 'bypass' to Boss pedal) after jam around, the clean sound just get dull.
yep, every time I switch it off after jamming. The clean sound became dull. Every time :(

Please anyone help me facing this anoying problem...

I have seen once where one of the transistors goes bad in the electronic switching circuit. Question: Does it do the same on battery power or from ac adapter?

Havent try with battery since I remove the battery clip :D

I would check all of the basics, that is all connectors have good solder joints, same with switch. Before going deep into the electronics, I always check that the mechanical parts are OK.
