I sent my DLX off to Athens (via GuitarGuitar) for a couple of reasons. Firstly, when I first sold it to someone, there was absolutely no wet signal coming through at all. Bought it back from the buyer and then took it in to GG to get it sent off. Even though it worked with my power supply, there was another… well I think it’s a fault but not entirely sure. The pedal had a tap hold function so you can have lovely, crunchy analogue oscillation of the repeats. However, this only worked when the Time was set to 12 noon- 1 o’clock (about 400-450ms at most). Anything beyond that, and there was absolutely no oscillating repeats. Cranking the repeats dial to max on 800ms as well (without using the hold function), the hold function didn’t work. I don’t know if this is just how this pedal behaves, but I’m sure the repeats dial was more sensitive on other units I’ve tried and the hold function worked. So it went off to Greece for a few weeks, and I got it back on Monday. It’s a warranty replacement, whole new pedal… and the same issue.
Other users, is this a common issue with these pedals?

Asking them about how they bias their retrovibe bulb on the trimmer so I can set my new (used) one back to stock they just said 'by ear' as opposed to actually having written down any kind of 'stock' setting for them to leave the factory with,
I got a very early Xtreme and adored the tone of it, if not the size. But it did occasionally have a tiny freakout with it's funky modes that a power cycle would fix.
All their stuff that's more complex than a dirt box seems to have an element of this 'wiggle everything until it works then stop wiggling' feel to them and their construction. Which is sort of charming and also sort of annoying. No help at all I know. Sorry.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
It’s just a bit annoying, thought it might be a feature of analogue circuitry sometimes. I’ve heard comments about Jam’s build quality, which is a shame because the DLX really is a lovely delay, beautiful core delay tone.
