ProFexII Help

[Chris Schlotzhauer]

I think my PFII died. The other night , at the gig, I plugged in my steel to the input, and the output to the amp. Nothing. After I changed cords out, I had to abort using the unit. I got home and re-hooked everything back up. When I turn up the input and output volumes, and floor my volume pedal, I get a faint sound, but very distorted. I took the back off for a visual inspection, but I couldn't see anything. Is this unit dead? Has anyone else experienced sudden death on these?

Chris, what is the display telling you? Try re-initializing the unit by holding the play and global buttons in at the same time while plugging the unit in. This should re initialize the unit to factory settings. Of course any presets you had in the unit will be lost. It may be the internal memory battery. It usually gives you a message saying it is low. However, it also will give you a message of "bypassed" or "dsp interface error." If in fact the memory battery is bad, you will want to check for leakage onto the circuit board. This can cause serious damage to the circuit board. Try these first and see if the unit will work.

Just a word of caution, when connecting audio devices together, ALWAYS have both pieces unplugged from the wall.

I fixed one that died. Battery acid took out muting circuit transistors and a few other choice components. If no leakage, a reboot may do it. If none of the above, time to send to Peavey for repair! If so, have the battery changed and a mod kit (if not already done). Mike will help you out with all of that. You can't beat their service quality or prices!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ken Fox on 17 May 2004 at 08:21 PM.]</p></FONT>
