So the other week I went to bust out the RD Artist to lay down a track. No signal (tried new battery).
Took it home to fix it. Worked fine (old battery).
Took it back to the studio. Still no workie. Tried no pedals; diff Amp; diff cable; third amp.
Took home again. Works there with cable fro the studio into solid state Peavey, but nothing when I plug into my Bogen (tube). The amps at the studio are tube. I swear it used to work fine with my Bogen and Garnet at least.
The only thing I can think of is that the output jack went bad and I replaced it (proper long bushing Switchcraft TRS); maybe I wired the 9V and signal backwards; or 9V and ground and somehow this works on the Peavey but no go on tube amps. But then why doesn't this work when I use a bufferred pedal (figured same as solid state Peavey but maybe the Peavey is just a brick shithouse vs everything else)? Can anyone confirm for me by wire colour (e.g. which colour to tip, ring and sleeve)?
Incidentally, after the RD didn't work I busted out the Victory; also problems (intermittant signal due to the jack (which freaked me out till I giggled the cable) and in 1of 2 switch modes the D and G strings made no sound (also freaked me out until I realised that it was the series/parallel switch - did we know that was a split pickup in there? It's even more like a P than I realised).
