I haven't played it yet. They are asking $650. I haven't decided whether or not to pursue it further.

Ok, amp techs and aficionados... I'm considering buying this JCM 800 clone. Let me know if you see any red flags on this. It has a clean bill of health from reputable music shop. How much would you pay for it?

LOL.

Ok, enough of that! 

I'll post one when I get a chance, but there's not much to see. It's all smd and it looks fine. This is apparently a common problem, based on my searches. Some appear to have received help from Moog, but maybe as more cases came up, they stopped messing with it or just can't keep up.

My Moog Minifooger delay has given up on me. It no longer has any delay effect. The drive works, and it passes sound and seems to turn on fine. The delay function just seems to have stopped. Moog support has been completely unresponsive to my inquiries. Anyone have any thoughts?

If you overheated the switches during the soldering process, it could cause odd connections with the switches.

Classy.
Clean.
Great work.

I would also reflow all the wiring connections. Reflow the jumpers from the main board to the footswitch board and make sure there are no solder bridges there.

His jacks are grounded to the pcb.

I would hook it all up and "chopstick" around a bit. Gently poke and push on components and see if you can find a short. Put tape on the back of the pots that are under the pcb.

Have you attempted to trace the audio path with a probe?

Oops. Double post.

Post a pic if possible. It may help us get it sorted.

Does the board fit in the box ok?
Do the edges contact the enclosure?
Are any components standing tall enough to contact the lid or audio jacks?
Is there stress on any of the switches or pots when you mount the board in the enclosure?
Do the audio jacks contact the board?
What kind of dc jack did you use?

Haberdasher is authorized to fab the discontinued pcbs. Hit him up, he might be able to help.

Score!

Would it not be simpler to just get a bigger pedalboard? 

I'd take an audio probe to the first two and see if signal is getting anywhere. The CE5 will probably need to messed caps removed so you can check the traces for continuity, then go from there.

Hate to renew this, but I've still got a bad pop with the footswitch. I am measuring 2.4v at the input! I'd suspect a leaky cap, but there are no electrolytics in this circuit. What else should I look for?
