  • Line 6 DL-4 - No sound when effect is engaged (bypass works)

    I just traded a guy another pedal for this DL-4. Is in great shape and worked fine yesterday and today but then when I went to engage the effect again I got no sound. I did the factory reset and reseated (removed and reinstalled) the EPROM chip (sometimes that remedies some of the DL-4 issues) but neither worked.

    I've repaired non-powering DL-4s in the past but this doesn't seem to be a power section issues as the pedal powers up fine and all the functions seem to work properly.

    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

    Make sure the power supply voltages are proper.
    +5Vdc & +3.3Vdc.

    If that block diagram can be trusted, I would jump right to the ADAC.
    Look up the datasheet.
    Do you have signal in?
    Do you have signal out?

      Thanks. I had assumed the PS voltages were fine because the unit powers up but after reading the voltages in the PS section I found the voltages were not right coming out of a voltage doubler (U20). Was only getting near 2v. I removed it and ordered a new one. I hope that solves the issue.
