1. Broken Footswitch
Footswitches need to be durable and strong as it tends to get used heavily every time you use it extensively. If they are not built to be durable, just like everything else, they also have physical limitations and will tend to break easily. It can happen quite suddenly. You will notice this issue when the signal is lost and the footswitch will no longer have its usual click when you step on it.
In order to fix it, you can open the pedal and check the connection of the footswitch. You can purchase a replacement footswitch from our inventory, place it in the correct position, and use a soldering gun to connect it properly to its original position.

2. Cables, Wires, and Power supply issues.
If your footswitch is having problems, make sure to check the outside of the pedals if it is set up correctly. There is a possibility that the problems are caused by a cable, wire, or a power supply issue.
You can usually check if there is a signal if you can hear a buzzing noise when you hook up all the wires and cables, you must check all to rule out this problem. This method may be slow and can be quite annoying to do, but you can test out everything and make sure everything is working and effective at the same time.
If the cables and wires are all working but there is still a problem getting a signal, make sure that there is power supply on each pedal. Check the batteries if needed by using a battery tester. When you are using electricity as your power supply, try it on different pedals and make sure that everything is working as needed.
The power sockets must also be checked to see if these have the correct polarity. They are usually center negative, but among older pedals, center positive sockets are also quite common.
