Troubleshooting
No sound output
Check that the input and output cables are correctly connected. Ensure the pedal is powered on and the effect is not bypassed. Verify that the volume knob is not turned down.
Pedal not recognized by Neuro Editor/App
Ensure the USB cable or Source Audio Connector is properly connected. Restart the Neuro Editor/App and the pedal. Check for software updates for the Neuro Editor/App.
Unwanted noise or hiss
Try different power supplies to rule out noise from the power source. Adjust the 'Tone' control on the pedal. Ensure all cables are of good quality and properly shielded.
