First Jam Pedals, now this…
I was having a play through my pedals this evening and everything was working fine, but then I engaged the IC boost on my CB Brothers, and there was no sound whatsoever, silence. The FET half is fine, but on boost, drive or fuzz, no matter where I have the volume or gain dials, I’m getting no sound from the IC side.
This one is in a wooden box so it’s past its warranty (it’s a year for Chase Bliss, right?), so I’ll have to get it repaired but they’re complex beasts so I’m really not sure what to do, or if there is a suitable U.K. tech who could deal with this.
Can anyone help?

” I wonder if the daughterboard on your pedal might just need to be reseated to make the proper connections. I’ve attached a pic to this email showing the points of connection between the Daughter Board and Mother Board circled in Green, Yellow, and Red.
Think you’re barking up the right tree, and the daughterboard needs reseating. Yours looks a way off being as flush as the one in the pic he sent. Hopefully an easy fix
Be very careful putting pressure on the board as is. At that angle there’s a good chance things underneath, out of view, could be misaligned and if you are rough it could cause damage.

You sound like you are in good hands though. I hope you can get it sorted without the hassle of shipping it off for repair.

If there isn't some sort of foam pad on the inside of the pedal bottom to stop the boards separating, fit one.
