DD3

Post by David Zornes »

Friends, I forgot to unplug the cords from my dd3. When I went back to play it, of course the battery was dead. I replaced the battery and the red indicator came on but went off. When I depressed the switch to turn on the dd3, the indicator light would not come on. Did I fry my DD3 by leaving it plugged in all night?
I know it is a dinosaur pedal, but I really enjoy a DD3. I use only a little delay, but I need it. Can anyone here help me remedy the problem or would I need to try to find another dd3?

No Erv- I don’t have one. I hope it’s not gone; I really like a DD3-simplistic. If it is gone I will advertise to get another one.

Well you might want to clean the battery connector contacts , and try a new fresh battery.

The other problem of course, is the battery connections themselves sometimes breaking when removing/installing a new battery! I "repaired" several 9V operated devices by replacing the battery connector.
