Hi,
I hope someone can give me some pointers. My HM-2 pedal is acting up. The pedal is used with a 9V battery. When you switch it on, the led lights up and the pedal sounds as always. After 20-30 minutes the led starts to dim and eventually is no longer visible. As this happens the sound of the pedal also changes. When I unplug the pedal and wait for 20 minutes or so, the led is bright red again and the sound is also OK. Then, after 20-30 minutes, etc, etc.
Does anyone know what can cause this to happen? I'm a NOOB at this, but willing to learn..
Grtz.
