Behringer UC200, chorus effect pedal
Used with DC supply, not battery (horrible battery access). Only
unprocessed sound on pushing pedal , but the LED comes on, usual brightness. I've not had any failure with it, normal function. Somewhere between 400R and 1K in series with the supply, simulating dirty contact, processing fails and LED on but only feint. So not power connector diverter switch or input Ring/Sleeve contact problem presumably. PbF problem, but where is most likely? Incidently is the casing really ABS? says so on the mold mark inside but it has the look and feel of nasty breakable polystyrene |

Behringer UC200, chorus effect pedal
I was monitoring the B output and that was ok, assuming the A output was
just feedthrough , but RTFM fashion A and B are stereo outputs and he'd been using the A output which is failing to switch over to chorus , so will have to probe the 4558 that feeds A, if not B |

The cost of a new one is something around the cost of half an hour's labour. Which pretty much makes any repair whatsoever unviable. http://www.woodbrass.com/en/effet-gu...FfOhtAodGnUAJw Gareth. |

Owner uses wiht guitar , then wants to record with a stereofied version. I suspect this is a different flavour of UC200 although no subscript found. I was noting upside down and A output is chorus and B is feedthrough. As both outputs of the chorus chip are bridged across with a pcb trace, then perhaps only ever a mono version. |
