Ok, bought this pedal.
Sounds really good and not unlike a 80s TS9.
Although the tone knob sometimes works... and sometimes does not.
If I keep turning it on and off it’ll kick in and work.
This video demonstrates the pedal at first working.
Then after several on and offs it seems to resort to a fixed position regardless where you set the toneknob. It’ll sound that way all around the dial. Then by turning the pedal on and off again a few times it kicks in and works?!

Any ideas how powering the pedal on and off is effecting the tone knob???

Is the pot loose? I found that the pots on my ts9 can come loose and one of the lugs makes contact with the enclosure.

I’ll have a look but I’ve took it apart and didn’t notice anything.
Thanks for the reply

Can't think that the switching would be affecting anything, either a bad pot, bad solder connection or if this uses tantalum for the 220nF on the tone control, that could have gone bad and is working intermittently.

No problem! If you get stuck i'm in the UK and i'll sort it for the return postage.
