Boss Pedal - little help?

Post by Buddha's Guitar Tech »

I have a GE6 EQ pedal and the audio seems to work fine, but the indicator won't stay on. I've recooked some joints, but can't find anything obvious.

My SS knowledge is pretty limited, so i'm wondering if anyone here can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Hi Budda,
when you want some help to solve for some problems,
it's a good rule to add a link to the schematic and some internal pictures.

I don't know GE-6 but I know GE-7:

If the flip-flop formed by Q2 and Q3 works, and it should, due to the fact that Q4 and Q5 are switched correctly (audio part is ok), you have to look at D4 R10 from the led to ground.
