Yes it would Erik, I just don't like using only half the switch.

Echo only and dry/echo mix.
Have you come from the right output ?

Hi ecca.Thanks for your reply,I have taken the output from the lower of the two outputs as per the wiring diagram,this has me puzzled.Any help would be gratefully received.

Can you easily try the other ?
What happens when you use pot 1 ( echo level) ?
Have you checked the wiring of that ?

Hi ecca,yes the wiring to the pots seems as per the instructions,as I said the echoes come thru fine with all the different switch settings just no dry signal.This has got me scratching mi head.Its looking like a job for a local amp builder I know.Thanks for your valued help.

Have you parallelled the left and right inputs ?

I've come across another eTap2HW with no dry signal in the mix. I'm not sure what your problem may be but the first thing I would check is the pot wiring to see if the dry signal is being "muted" by the mix pot (check all the pots as they share common connections). Also check that all the components are inserted in the correct position on the PCB (make sure they are all in their correct holes and that none have inadvertently been fitted into the holes that link the top and bottom surfaces of the board). Also check that all the component values are correct (the resistor colour codes can be tricky to read).

Keep us posted

"the resistor colour codes can be tricky to read"

Too blinkin right.
It used to be such a commonsensical thing , what's happened to em ?
The 10K look like 1K etc etc

Particularly for those who are more or less colour blind !

I usually check them on the meter just to be sure

Hi ecca,yes parallel input connection,double checked all component placings on the board,everything seems fine.It's a funny one this for sure.Regards
