Playing a TC Electronics Dark Matter distortion pedal. Playing through the clean channel. When pedal is cut off there is no clean channel. No volume at all. When cut on pedal works fine. I'm pretty sure everything is set up just right. Anyone know what the problem might be? I really like the pedal but it's not doing me any good if I can't use the clean channel. Clean channel works fine through looper and without pedal.

So, when the distortion pedal is ON you get distorted guitar through your amp, but when the pedal is OFF, you get no sound? The distortion is BETWEEN your guitar and amp?

If that's all the case, TC pedals are true bypass and it sounds like that isn't working. Is it a new pedal or have you had it working fine and this suddenly started happening? If it's still in warranty, I'd send it back.

If it does it once, it'll do it again. Look into replacing the switch soon.Originally posted by Brown NoteI'm soooooo jealous about the WR-1. It's the perfect guitar; fantastic to play, balances well even when seated and *great* reach for the upper frets. The sound is bright tight and very articulate. In summary it could only be more awesome if it had b00bs and was on fire!
