Buying Guide
1Test the footswitch — it should click firmly and engage/bypass cleanly without pops or signal drops.
2Check that all knobs turn smoothly through their full range. Scratchy pots are cheap to fix but indicate age or neglect.
3If the pedal uses a battery, check the battery compartment for corrosion. If it uses a power supply, test with a standard 9V center-negative supply.
