Troubleshooting

No sound is produced.

Check the input and output connections, ensure the pedal is receiving power, and that your amplifier is on and working.

Distorted sound or unusual artifacts.

Adjust the input gain and experiment with the program settings to reduce distortion. Ensure the power supply is providing sufficient power.
