Music - Zoom - G1x Guitar Multi Effects Pedal with EXpression Pedal
The first thing i would check is the ac adapter .Make sure you are getting the correct voltage from the adapter.If you know how to use a voltmeter or know someone that has a volt meter,check it with it unplugged from the guitar pedal,most of these have a voltage range from 9 to 12 volts dc.you could also take it to your local radio shack or local repair shop and they will be glad to check it for you for free.after you confirm the adapter and it is ok then the next thing you will check is the input jack assy on the pedal,input jack assy are soldered onto the board at the factory,these jacks ,no matter what it is are famous for cracked solder joints where the pins of the jack go into the board because of stress delivered to it during plug ins and plug outs.if you dont know how to use a sldering gun or dont want to you will have to take it it to your local repair shop-cost should be around 15.00, 20.00 tops,make sure that your guitar cables are good,check the 9volt battery inside the unit if it takes one,if its dead that could be your problem,if all above fails i would send it back to the factory or wherever you bought it.,good luck been playing for about 30 years myself,rock on
