Troubleshooting

All  pedals  are  tested  before  leaving  GNI’s  facility.  If  you  are  having 
difficulties,  please  pay  attention  to  the  following  details.  Most  small 
problems are easy to solve with a simple checklist:

?

Insert input jack, or the pedal won’t turn on.

?

Check if you used the correct sides for input and for output.

?

If using DC adaptor, be sure it respects our specs. Reversed polarity, 
wrong tension, etc. may damage the circuit.

?

If using batteries, be sure they are not discharged. It can affect the 
clean sound, and cause strange behaviors, like effects sounding when 
the unit should be in bypass.

?

Check volume levels, wrong connections and broken cables.

?

Keep your unit away from other electrical devices. TVs and other home 
appliances cause interference and noise.

?

Don’t play very close to the amplifier, or directly facing it, in order to 
avoid feedback noise.
