What are some quick tests to troubleshoot my unit?
Sometimes a few quick tests at home can be the difference between thinking your unit is broken and getting it working properly. Here is a list of quick trouble-shooting steps to
test your gear and unit. As basic as these sound please run all the tests.
Check simple signal chain:
Plug your cable from your guitar into your amp. If you have a direct connect tone go to step 2. If not you have a bad cable, guitar or
amp.
Check 2nd cable:
Take your 2nd cable and switch it with the first cable. If you have sound, we now know both cables, your guitar and amp, work.
Check power:
Plug your amp into the same outlet that you’re using to power your ADA product. If the amp turns on, then the outlet works. If not try another outlet
to power your unit.
Check native ADA Signal Chain:
Plug the first cable from your guitar into your ADA product (input). Plug the 2nd cable between your ADA product (output) and
into your amp. Make sure the ADA product is plugged into a working power source. DO NOT insert it in a pedal chain, i.e., do not introduce any other pedals into
the signal chain. If your ADA product works, your pedal chain most likely has a problem. If you hear nothing, then their may be a problem with your individual unit.
Please see the FAQ on how to get an RA number.

What do I do if my product is not working?
If your product is not working we STRONGLY suggest that you run a series of quick tests to troubleshoot the unit (see above). They may sound very basic, but it can save you
time in getting your unit working and you back to playing. If you are an international (non-USA) customer, you must contact your local dealer and/or your national distributor for
repair. If you are in the USA and the unit truly does not work, email
to get a Return Authorization (RA) number from us.

the RA you received from us. You are responsible for shipping to and from ADA, so please track and insure your parcels. ADA cannot be held responsible for parcels that
