BOSS dd3, again...

[ZoSo58LP]

ok i've asked this before but i want to ask again before i shell out $70+ dollars for boss to repair my damn pedal.....ok so i have a DD3, and one day while playing, the signal just cut out..it was in my FX loop, so everything cut out and i thought my amp crapped out...turns out it was the DD3....when plugged into the output, nothing comes through, only a bit of like static noise....but when plugged into the dry direct out, the signal comes through, therefore there must be a problem with either the output jack or the chip or soemthing....does anyone here with electronics knowledge have any idea what it could be so i could do this myself? thanks!!

I'd take the cover off and poke around for a loose connection.

If boss is going to charge you $70 to fix it, you may as well just buy a new one.

It sounds like a quick fix, could you try and contact Boss directly, tell them the predicament, tell them you like thier pedals and they've never crapped out on you before....you don't have any kind of warranty to avail of?

i did contact boss...talked to a guy on the phone...told him everything, he said to send it in. they'll give me an estimate of labor because thats all i have to pay, seeing as 90 days is up..and if i dont like it, they send it back, but i pay 25 bucks. im not sure what to do..

wellp im fedexing it out to boss today...lets hope that since they see on the receipt that i bought it at the same time as the boss superchorus pedal they'll be like oh ok he likes our stuff lets cut him some slack....lol

freakin sweet! so the guy from boss called me today and said including shipping back to me, the total is only 37 bucks! WOW, i thought i was going to end up getting ripped and paying 70 something! yay!
