think my time machine is faulty

i've noticed that my time machine has been doing something weird. some of the repeats warble or glitch for no reason. don't know if it's a power issue (using a 10 output 9v supply) or something else. it's designed to recreate a tape echo sound (in red mode), but not in a speed changing way.

Dirty delay time pot? Try turning it back and forwards for a minute and see how it fares from then.

i'll give it a try. i noticed it happens more after i've used the tap tempo switch

Might be worth taking a spray contact cleaner to the switches and pots before you cry "REFUND!".

nah, i won't go down the refund route unless it's really needed. it's actually kinda nice sounding, but wish i was a switchable option, not a free spirit lol

it's was the power supply. changed it to my old one and it works fine now.

Was about to pounce in and say just how fussy about power supplies delays are. Also, I thought you'd bought a pink paisley tele for a moment, looking at your avatar, and was consumed by jealousy until I remembered it's pink avatar month.
