Yeah. It is a weird shtick he's got there.

So, I got this Alexander History Lesson delay. For some reason when it is in the chain it kills the signal. I had several pedals going and it took a few to figure out what the issue was. I kept removing a pedal one at a time. It works when it was the only pedal plugged in, but when I added another pedal it did the same thing and no signal gets through. The manual doesn't mention any buffer switch or anything. I will mess with it more tonight. I might shoot the guys at Alexander a message to see if they have any ideas.

I wanna buy just one piece of gear I 'need,' but this corona situation means that shipping things to where I live isn't happening. Even though it'll make things easier for me, maybe it's a sign that I should just learn to make do with what I already have.

Those jacks can short if it's not plugged in all the way, or if it's going to another pedal with a shorting trs jack input. |

Though it should work in a chain, Matthew at Alexander suggested that I power it with it's own source and not off the daisy chain. |

Ah yes could do it. Sounds like one of your other pedals is not playing nicely with the power.

It was weird. I took each pedal out of the chain individually and it only did it when the history lesson was in the chain, but not when the history lesson was alone in the chain. I'll do some experimenting tonight.

I picked up an Earthquaker Devices Westwood Translucent Drive. It is a very nice sounding, mild mannered overdrive. I also have a Black Arts Witch Burner/Sky Boost prototype that I had yet to try. I ran it side by side with the standard Witch Burner I have and tried to make them sound the same. It seemed like the standard one has just a little more gain and treble/tinge at the same settings. They both sound great and when you stack them they absolutely scream. I don't think the boost is really something I'll use much, but it's a cool one of a kind pedal.

That should be okay because a ts cable just carries the delay signal. A TRS cable could split it for a dual amplifier setup where one has a dry signal and one is the wet delay. Unless it's TRS only which would be weird.

Yep. That wasn't it. I thought the issue was resolved. Got out other pedals. Moved cables around. It started happening again. I was losing my mind for a second after pulling pedals and cables back off trying to isolate it. I thought the amp blew or something. It was one of the patch cables... I isolated it down. It is a brand new cable, too. Pig Hog...

So it works? Bad patch cable? Rock out.

Yeah, everything totally works. In hindsight I should have set aside the few suspect cables last night. All good.

I had nothing to contribute, but I've been following this off and on since this morning. Slow day. Glad it all worked out.

Well the mark iv doesn't work... the fuse holder is broken and it doesn't turn on even when I hold it in place. And on top of that I just electrocuted myself pulling the fuse out of my other amp to test it because in my haste I didnt unplug it.

Seller called me right away and was genuinely concerned. He said he got the amp in the early 90s when he was sponsored by Boogie and the previous owner was Charlie Hunter!
