  • Ibanez DDL Digital Delay not working

    I can't find a schematic for it but found one for the Flanger of the same type. I've read the FETs that do the switching can fail. I think TR1 on mine may be compromised - if that is what is part of the switching. Here are some schematic snippets for analysis.

    The second one has what I think is the switching portion of the schematic.

    It would be interesting, which DDL you're talking about. And what do you mean with "not working"?
    No sound, no LED, no effect. Mine had a bad ground connection on the board where the pots are.

      Sorry, should have added more:

      the pedal passes signal but hitting the footswitch does not engage the delay signal. The bypass LED works with the footswitch.

      I thought maybe TR1 was bad but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

        Check the operation of Q1, which is a switching FET in the signal path. TR1 is part of the VCO circuit.
