Been having some issues with my PBC6/X lately and wondering if there is anything that needs to get fixed. Here are the symptoms I've seen thus far:
- Occasionally LEDs will change color when they shouldn't. Example: I have a page dedicated to drive pedals. Sometimes I'll go to that page and it will indicate that a pedal is active that I know is bypassed. Pressing a different button on the page will usually (though not always) get that LED to update and reflect that the pedal is actually bypassed. (Note: I've asked about this issue before and was told it's likely a static electricity issue, and that I should tighten down the PBC bolts. I have tightened down all bolts and switches on the top panel, but am still experiencing the issue).
- I have a single momentary button connected to the AUX jack on the PBC. Normally it works without issue, but yesterday (during a live set) it triggered a completely different MIDI message than it was supposed to, (resulting in a glitch delay effect getting activated on my HX Stomp rather than a ramping tremolo).
- During the same set/song, my expression pedal (connected to the EXP jack on the PBC) started sending seemingly random MIDI messages. I had it set to volume at the time, and I ended up having to bypass it entirely it's behavior became so unpredictable.
As a note, resetting the power on my board seemed to fix everything for the time being, but I'd like to get this figured out so I don't need to reset my rig in the middle of a set...
