Troubleshooting

Issue

Solution

Unit does not power on

Ensure that the power supply has center
negative polarity and can supply at least
300mA of current at 9-12V.

Check that the outlet or power strip that
the supply is plugged into is live.

Try a second power supply to ensure that

the first is not faulty.

Presets do not set the delay

time as expected when

activated

Ensure that the tap tempo is disabled. An
active tap-tempo will always override the
preset delay setting.

No effects are heard at the

output, only the instrument

sound.

Ensure that the unit is enabled and that
the light is on above the 

ON 

switch.  No

effects are heard while disabled.

Ensure the output cable is plugged into
the 

OUT WET

 jack.  If the 

OUT DRY

 jack

is used instead only the dry signal with no

effects added will be heard.

No output sound

Ensure that the output cable Is fully
plugged into one of the 

OUT

 jacks.

Ensure that the 

GAIN 

knob is turned up

high enough to provide useful volume.

Ensure that there is not a wiring problem

with signal coming from the instrument or
other upstream equipment.

Ensure that all other downstream

equipment and amps are turned on and
functioning correctly.

Loop playback is not heard

in Sound on Sound mode

If an expression pedal is connected, it may
be controlling the loop playback volume.
Ensure that the expression pedal is not

muting the loop.

User becomes speechless

or enters an unresponsive

state of amazement

Sit down, maybe grab a cold beverage, and
focus on breathing as the full magnificence
of the Geckoplex settles in.

Also, congratulate yourself for reading all
the way to the end of this manual.
