Hey guys. I'm running a problem with my whammy IV . The signal cuts off in from wet output when i rock the pedal. It power up just fine and stays on, just the signal from wet out cuts off. I recalibrate it and still the same. Any idea on where to start looking?
thanks

cracked solder joints around the wet out jack would be a good place to start.

i  checked wet output jack but didnt notice something strange. will solder it again to make sure this isnt the problem. thanks though :)

I thought today to give another shot and check better before i start soldering. So i plugged whammy and this time i had cuts out even in bypass. I guess i should check the input-output jack for continuity? cables as i said before are 100% fine and jacks "seems" fine as they make contact to the tip and sleeve of the cable jack..maybe it got dirty and doesnt make contact or its streched for some reason and doesnt make contact when i rock the threadle? With my very few knowledge it seems a good idea to replace the input jack for start. what do you think?
