Distressor Settings

I own 2 Distressors and one of them resets everytime it's turned on and the other one keeps its settings.

What holds these settings and is it user replaceable?

Looks like the little battery is dead. You could try to replace it. There is something about this in the manual. You can find the manual online......

from the manual:

Batteries
Batteries are not required to hold settings for less than a month. A gold capacitor inside will store front panel settings for at least four weeks. If longer backup is required, a place for two AA "penlight" cells can be provided inside unit. Install two AA batteries (penlight cells) by unplugging unit, removing the top cover screws, gently prying out the used AA cells and putting in the new ones. As always, don't put the batteries in backwards! Incidentally, the fuse next to the batteries is an extra fuse with no high voltages or signals wired to it. We estimate the battery may last as long in the unit as it does on the shelf, which is four to ten years. The backup is needed to retain the switch settings on the front panel when turned off. The audio is not affected by lack of batteries.



It could be that the gold capacitor is defect and you need to get it to a repair shop.

Thank you. I've never actually used a modded one.
