| Why would a distortion unit stop distorting? I have an old AC powered stomp box made by Polytone called a "Multivoicer" that used to produce this crazy distortion. I had not plugged it in for quite some time (5+ years) untill recently. I have been wanting to use it again, so I plugged it in and all it does is pass the clean signal. No distortion. I opened it up and did not find anything that looked wrong. No leaking caps or corosion. Any ideas how to get the distortion back? Thanks.

| Does it not come out of bypass? Or is there a change in the sound when you switch it on? -tINY |

| There is no change of sound when I step on the switch. Maybe it is not getting out of bypass.

| Check the footswitch, and make sure you have the right power supply. Best, Paul

| David, DeOxIt won't work on a closed switch, which a lot of these pedals use. You really need to do a continuity check to make sure the legs are making and breaking properly. If it needs a switch, this is a good source Small Bear Electronics Stock List Home Page . BTW, nothing at all came up with a Google search for that unit's name. Strange. Best, Paul
