GE-6 Equalizer Problem/Repair?

Post by fuzzbuzzfuzz » Tue Feb 25, 2020 7:45 am

So a while back I had the good fortune - or so I thought - to stumble across a nice GE-6 MIJ silver screw EQ pedal, and thought it perfect to add to the collection. I may have given it a cursory plug in at the time of purchase but since then I have been too busy to touch it...until now...

..and it doesn't work! Or should I say not well. When pressing the switch there is a pause before the pedal powers up, a gradual "boot" up period of a sec or two. After that the pedal dulls the tone and sounds bassy, the sliders have a minimal effect.

What might be a good point to start with on trouble shooting. I tried both battery and an ACA adapter with the same outcome.
Possibly cap failure?

Thanks in advance!
