Warning: Lots of pedals! Mysteriously Lost All Signal AFTER UPRGRADING A FEW PEDALS for PEDALS
Background:
I recently wanted to up my pedalboard because I grew tired of some pedals. With some 'upgrades' in mind I mainly did some one-for-one switcheroos, like a Boss Gigadelay instead of my old DD-5, for example. All of sudden I lost ALL signal when I did this. Everything was plugged in well (all my wires are those George Lynch do them yourselfers which are great). Wierd how that happened! Thought I would show you guys some detailed slides to help answer what had caused this?
Attached are three PowerPoint slides. Here are some descriptions of the slides:
1.)The first shows my old setup which worked great, but I replaced and added some pedals. Thought it wasn't anything too major. Guess I was wrong.
2.)After replacing the pedals, I lost all signal and got DEAD AIR only when I turned on my Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor. After unplugging some stuff and directly testing the connections and pedals to my amp, I isolated the problem to signal loss in the effects loop of the NS-2. The problem went away when I moved my WOBO Buffer/Booster to the start of this NS-2 effects loop. (See slide)
