OK, this is probably a bit above my pay grade, but I want to give it a shot anyway. I have an Alesis MicroVerb from October 1986 that is passing signal but does not produce an effect, and the input volume pot has no effect on the signal path.
When injecting a 1K tone into either input, I can trace the signal up to the U13 flip flop, but am unable to pick up the signal at the input of the Input Volume Pot. Thus the input volume pot has no effect on the signal path. The Output Volume Pot does increase and decrease volume, with or without DC power connected to the unit. I don't have the experience to suss this out, nor do I have a logic tester, so I figured I'd run it by you folks here to see if this is a problem any of you have experienced before.
More pictures are available HERE but below is a shot of the part of the circuit I suspect:
