I have an original ProFex that I put the batteryless mod in long ago and went to use it but now not working. I contacted Peavey but no response, and I know they’re way behind on repairs etc. Wondering if someone else repairs these or if it’s obsolete and of no interest. I still have my TubeFex, so really don’t need this piece of gear sitting around.

I assume you used the right power supply? Did it even light up?

I would try doing a reset, however that would wipe out any presets. I haven't been inside the original profex.

Most likely the trace or traces to the data wheel were compromised by older batter leakage. When that happen the data wheel does not work

You are most welcome

The traces go by the battery and are almost hair thin. When broken the data wheel does not function


I usually have to run small jumpers wires from the pads where the traces go to snd come from. This due to the traces being to small to solder onto

I have recently purchased a Pro Fex II from Ken, containing the mods and the Burr Brown chips. No issues hear.
Thank you Ken
