Boss CE-5 mid-late 90's
I was at a Jam session earlier today. I hit the foot switch and... tone change.. nothing more. The filter and level pots worked, but i couldn't get anything out of the speed and depth. Me thinking on my feet, I punched it a few times and it started working again. Mostly. It didn't sound right. not near as much 'volume' in the chours as it normally did.
I have reason to believe that there are a few different versions of the CE-5's out there, but I may be wrong. does anyone have any schematics of ones from this era kicking around? I'm going to have to pull it apart and attack it with a multimeter soon as i get some time to see what's going on with it. hopefully it's as simple as a dented cap. I don't think its any broken wires as a 'swift kick' made it do its thing.
And thats my favorite pedal too.
