"De-Exit",, Oops, I meant to say DE- OXIT, this stuff is available a Radio Shack or a good electronic supply store. It works wonders. Cheerio!

Zoe, do not, I repeat do not, I repeat do not, try your first soldering experience on your repeater. First of all you need a very good soldering gun which are expensive, the cheap electric kind you can get from radio shack are not capable of the kind of sustained heat needed to cure a cold or loose solder joint problem on an audio device, if that is indeed your problem. I'd first try a deoxidizing spray like De-Exit as oxidation can cause all manner of fuzzy sounding problems, volume drops etc.. And , oxidation, rust, and corrosion are all problems prevalent to coastal climates. If I'm correct you live in SF? Foggy SF? nuff said. Also make sure all of the nuts on the input and output jacks are tight. I've sometimes had loose input jacks cause weird crackling and I believe the jacks on the back of the repeater have those black plastic ones that can be tightened by hand, and also can vibrate loose. Also I have minimized my the amount of plugging and unplugging I do with my repeater. I leave it in my rack, wired to my mixer. But do try to get it looked at by someone with experience. Call Real Guitars or Haight Ashbury Music, Or Leo's Audio in Oakland for a referral. -----Original Message----- From: Zoe Keating [mailto:cello@zoekeating.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 1:07 PM To: loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: RPTR: right output is half volume... Yikes. I discovered that the right output of the Repeater is almost half the volume of the left. Also, there are pops and crackles when i wiggle the cable (yes, checked the cables) I fear soldering needs to happen? I've never done such a thing before but I like to try new things. Has anyone on the list ever opened up the inside of their Repeater?
