| | I'm having problems with my pedal cutting out on me when playing. Whether I use the true bypass out or the live out, while playing the bass the pedal will cause my sound to cut out. This happens whether or not I use the pedal board power supply OR a brand new battery. It doesn't do it immediately, but once it starts it does it every few seconds, and of course that won't do. Any suggestions?? I love this pedal, but if it doesn't work that kinda blows. |

| | Welcome to the forums! What cables are you using? It sounds as though it's a connection issue in the signal path, likely at the input jack of the tuner. Does it only happen when you play bass? Enough bass frequency to vibrate your pedalboard might be enough to make a flakey connection do stuff like this. Hopefully the poor connection is only associated with one of your cables, and it's not a poor internal connection in the tuner itself. Have you tried swapping some cables around yet?

Thanks!
Actually, i have tried swapping cables, and every time I think I"ve figured out why its crappin' out on me, it'll do it again after a few seconds of playing and once it starts it won't stop. Wiggling cables doesn't seem to induce it at all. I've brought it home from the practice room to play guitar thru it for a while and see if it still does it.
Its not possible for a bass to overpower it, is it? I wouldnt' think so.  |

| | It might be possible for a bass with a very active pickup to sort of overload it if it's the first thing in your signal chain. I know that Ashdown pedals had that problem with certain basses, which they fixed by adding a bit more resistance to the input signal. You use a compressor with your bass, right? Try putting your compressor in front of your pedal tuner, and see if that helps. The compressor pedal should hopefully buffer the hot signal before it reaches your tuner pedal.
