Advice on a CEB3 chorus pedal

Hey all, I'm new here, so 'hi' and all that :-)

I just picked up a Boss Bass Chorus CEB3 off ebay pretty cheap. Got it out of the box, plugged it in, nothing happened... LED is on, nothing. I had the amp hooked up to output A (mono), so I tried it in output B, and suddenly I get chorus, though even fully mixed in it's not too prominent. Fair to say that something is not right, but I'm trying to figure out if it's simply wired up the wrong way around or whether the mono output is just not working at all...

Can someone else that has this pedal let me know if you get any chorus at all when plugged into output B only?

Many thanks...

Output B should give you a dry signal, no chorus, for stereo use.

Output A should give you the mixed signal if you're not using B as well, otherwise it gives processed only. Normally, you'd use A on its own.

Sounds like there's something wrong.

Thanks, that's what I thought... it's been fitted with a custom green led so it might just be a case of it being wired up the wrong way round after modification, as it's behaving exactly as I would expect if it were the wrong way round. I'll give the seller a shout. Thanks again for the advice!
