marshall echohead delay doesnt work!?

[mrhectic]

I bought a marshall echohead delay off ebay the other day, and its just come through. Ive plug it in and everything and it doesnt work?!!?!?!

It works when its not switched on, but as soon as i hit it to turn the delay on, there's no sound going through. Ive turned all the dials and nothing.
is there something im doing wrong?

before i email the seller, i'd like to try all the possible options.
thanks guys

Does the LED come on?

[mrhectic]

yehh, it does...ive been looking around on the net, and i think i might have to buy an adapter maybe?

How are you powering it?

If the LED comes on it would suggest the power is working and the pedal is f*cked.

checked the battery?

[mrhectic]

im using a 9v battery which the seller provided with it. the light works...i'l buy an adapter tonight and see. Hopefully its not f*cked...to much hassle with trying to get a refund otherwise!

try a new battery. Mine worked okay off battery power although they didn't last long!

i had vibratrem and it needed pots to be cleaned otherwise they havent done much.

an adapter seems to have done the trick! it works now! maybe the battery was dead.
Thanks for the help guys.
