Think I fried my Frexbox :(

I was experiencing some unwanted noise in my signal chain so started the process of isolating each pedal from my pedalboard one by one...

It came the turn of the Freqbox. I plugged in a Moog PSU and powered up. There a strangle whining noise, not from the pedal but from the PSU... Then I got a static/electric shock from the cable jacks connected to the Freqbox! I quickly powered down and changed to another Moog PSU (I have 5 as I own 5 foogers!). Thankfully no noise.

Freqbox powered up and bypass let's the signal through fine. Turn the pedal on and my clean/dry signal is there, BUT none of the Freqbox/VCO sound. It basically seems the faulty PSU has killed the VCO!?

The mix knob on the pedal now basically blends from dry to silent!

Does the level light reflect the input signal or is it constantly on or off?

Hey,

I'll need to check when I get back to the studio but I 'think' it was reacting normally. It may of been always on (certainly not always off) but I do think it was reacting my input fine.

[jeepo]

I've had my freqbox cut out like you described a couple times. All I did was cycle the power and all was normal again. I haven't had that problem since I moved from that house, so I think power issues can do weird things to the freqbox, but mine's not fried, and hopefully yours is not either.

Seems it was some damaged components caused by a failing power supply.

This has been repaired and it now working full bore again...! WIN. Good day to receive a repaired big of Moog gear... makes me feel like I was celebrating Bobs birthday
