Someone please help I just got an old CE-2 and of course it requires an ACA adapter which I bought a new one did help out then I read a few Forums which I must say help out alot and I've tried the "Daisy Chain" with a regular PSA pedal and still nothing. Then I tried a battery and nothing....I mean the LED lights up DIM not as bright as it should and if I play with the knobs you can slightly hear the "Effect" go in and out but I getting very frustrated with this.......

Sounds internal, did you open it up to see if it was alright?

Keep in mind that the new ACA adapter is 9 volts DC unregulated, not 12 volts like the old ones. Your pedal wants to see 12 volts on the adapter jack, so a new ACA adapter won't help.

The daisy chain trick should work, though, as should a battery. For the daisy chain thing to work, the pedals need to have signal cables connected between them.

Hi Stinkfoot, Bossarea & Guys

I wonder if Bossarea would add this to the ACA Adapter data/description.
I sure would help alleviate some peoples confusion.

Thanks all for your advice I think there is something wrong internally unfortunely I'm not familiar with electronics I wouldn't know where to begin so I'm sending it out for repair.
