Title: Nautlus Peak LED...always on (but dim) even when bypassed.
Post by: The Rotagilla on August 19, 2013, 09:15:43 PM
Finally got my Nautilus build up and running after tearing my hair out over what ended up being a bad electrolytic and it sounds like it should but the Peak LED stays dimly lit all the time, even when the pedal is bypass (it does get brighter when I hit the strings so that parts works as it should). I'm 99.9% certain all connections are solid so I wanted to see if this is the way it's supposed to be or if I need to tear it down again. Thanks.

Pedals stay on even when bypassed. The power isn't turned off. :)

The LED won't go completely dim in that mode. There's still a wee bit of current, and then your guitar signal adds more to make it light up.
