I recently picked up a DD3 and it was working fine for the first two days that I bought. Soon after that all my pedals cut out and then back in abruptly (I also run through an OC3 and a Morley bass wah). After this happened, the DD3 will only pass the signal. The LED turns on but the sound comes through clean. Also, I have had some problems with my pedals cutting out before.. I'm not sure if its the power supply (9v 10-spot). But suggestions would be much obliged.

Hi drfunkenstein

If it's the older long IC version of the DD-3
Check the TO92 (transistor sized) +5V 100mA regulator, it's marked something like 78L05.

IC10 on the older units - I don't know about the newer-later versions of the DD-3.

This regulator is a common fault.
But I suppose anything could have happened, you need to find the reason the power is cutting in & out..
It might give you-us more of an insight into your actual fault.

Good Luck

Regards Dr. Bob
