GNX 2 Power Problem

Colton · Post by **Colton** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 1:50 am

On my Digitech GNX2, the power input must be kinda fucked up somehow, the damn thing will get bumped and shut off. If you wiggle the cable its alright for a while, and if you duct tape it, it works fine till some drunk chick walks up to where youre playing and kicks it while dancing.

I'm guessing something is just loose. Is there anyone who can solder PC chips well enough? If you pop this thing apart, its basically two computer chips and a bunch of empty space.

I'd really like to get this done before the weekend, so please lemme know if you know someone!

Its probably the "heavy duty" wall wart cable, not the innards.

Lol. This cable has been wired back together at that stupid box in the middle I think twice now.

Its quite possible its the cable, but if youre messin with the input, it really feels like its the jack itself. I'll try to find a replacement cable and see how it goes

If you want to bring it over to the house, I can look at it.

My dad had an '87 GNX and it would run 11.80's all day long. The only mods were 80/20 front shocks, 4.33 lockers, and M/T 8" slicks.
They were indeed badass cars for being a 3.8L V6...
My family are diehard Ford guys, and that is one of the very few GM products that were allowed in the driveway

Sounds like your powersupply can be fixed. I had that same problem with an old Digitech RP-10 effects processor

Well, im not real sure what the problem is now. I used it all sunday night with the hurricanes, people bumped it, i smashed buttons, pushed it around a bit with my foot, cable got caught on it and dragged it a little bit, and it never shut off once.

Thank god for that one, I didnt have any time at all to get anyone to look at it before then.

my digitech BP200 used to act retarded for seemingly no reason. I later figured out it was when it was plugged into a circuit that was drawing too much power.

Well, last night at shaws there were about 5 things plugged into the same power strip that MY power strip was plugged into.

At home here with only the gnx and the amp is when it was acting up. Its strange
