Depending on what's wrong with them, it's usually not to hard.
Most of the time it's cracked solder or just a bad switch.

I'll take a look, but I'm pretty pants at repairs, especially the fancy mass produced tiny component stuff.

Pretty Pants?

Is that a new phrase the kids are using these days?

Pants means not very good.

Pretty pants means quite not very good.

Just how old are you Dave?

I repair all the DL4s I can get my hands on (doesn't always work out, but they're usually fixable). I also buy broken pedals offa' eBay now & then when a good one pops up. As already mentioned, it's usually easy stuff. I can fix any normal through-hole mounted stuff, that's cake if you can solder. It's the surface mounted stuff and trouble shooting bad ICs, etc. that gets me down. If you can't find anyone else to look at your pedals I'd happily take a peek - whats wrong with them? Not powering up? Not passing signal?
