Control One Problems

Control One Problems

2011-07-05 by Joe

I recently bought a GSP2101 and Control One footpedal off of eBay.  After a few weeks of playing with the unit I plugged in the Control One and it didn't work.  It won't even light up.

I've built my own guitars and amps in the past, but I really have no idea how to start trouble shooting the Control One.

I know I should have checked it out as soon as I received it but it's too late for that now.  I would love any help as far as how to trouble shoot and go through the unit to get it working.

Any help as far as how I should start and what I should do would be much appreciated.

At this point it doesn't even light up and nothing even turns on.  The unit works perfectly though.  I also would like to add that I just recently updated the 2101's software to the latest version with one of Dieter's upgraded chips... 

Thanks in advance for the help.

I would rule out the external stuff as a problem first:  make sure my 7-pin midi cable is good; then try it and foot unit with another Digitech unit that you know powers a foot pedal correctly.  After that - I'll turn it over to someone smarter........

I'd be especially suspicious of that cable. I've had plenty of regular midi cables go bad out of the blue. Maybe test the cable for continuity with a multimeter or circuit tester. Digital multimeters are like $5 at Harbor Freight. I like mine.
