When Kevin purchased this "modified" Arion Fat-Chorus he wasn't counting on the mod mainly being a half-roll of electrical tape. Components were making contact in ways they shouldn't and much of the tape was starting to come apart. I cleaned up the soldering and insulated the mod with shrink tubing. After giving the main switch a good cleaning the pedal was fully operational and Fat as ever.
Casino Queen's DigiTech Whammy was passing clean signal just fine, but fell silent when the effect was engaged. We were lucky and the issue wasn't related to the chip or anything digital. A bad capacitor in the power section was preventing the pedal from powering up properly. The cap was replaced and Wham was restored!

Now it gets weird! Late 90's home-brew tube overdrive pedal. Built with parts salvaged from a 12v wall wart! The majority of components are EPOXIED to the case. This is maybe not the safest pedal ever produced.... But it sounds too good for that to be a problem!

Sometimes all it takes is a good cleaning. Your pedals spend most of their time on the beer soaked stage floor or in the back of a barely running Econoline... And then you step on them. Over and over. A little maintenance can go a long way.
