Bass synth effect not working on GT6B.... help needed!

[skampino]

All other effects work but the bass synth acts just like having a loose instrument cable (although it's not) it crackles, comes on then goes off intermittently.

I bought this unit from a user on here and until now had no reason to use this particular effect so only discovered today that I had been ripped off!

Any help to sort would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sounds like an internal problem that would need a tech to repair.

Maybe the seller didn't rip you off - maybe he/she didn't know it was faulty - I try to think the best of people!

If it's any consolation, the synth sounds are sh*te anyway!!

Hmmm....I'd like to think that someone wouldn't take advantage of another on here to offload a faulty item but he only had it a week and sold it on so I guess the guy who sold it to me had the same done to him. The back panel has obviously been off at some point because the screws were not put back properly
Any idea of how to go about finding a tech in the Hampshire area?

I sold it in a week because I couldn't figure out how to work it- I couldn't have found the bass synth if you'd wanted me to.

Sounds like a connection problem to me though, try opening it up and see if there's a loose wire or something?

TBH,, I kinda like the bass synth on these,,,, could be a pre set problem,,, would go for a master re-set and see how it goes...(lost my power supply,,, so If it is pooped,,, flog us it !!)

Already tried a factory restore but no change. Taking it to a tech guy who said if it's the motherboard then there's no much hope of fixing it below the cost of a new one.

Oh Pants,,, let us know,,, will give fair price for the power supply..left mine in somersett,,, doh...

I owned a GT6 for a while.

The synths on mine didn't work well, they sounded similar to your description..... kind of like they were cutting in and out.

Just a thought....
Try playing a guitar through the unit and see what happens!
