My AD Signature Legend has a malfunctioning "booster": the feature that kicks the OP PRO up a notch for solos or whatnot. Mine has never worked. Is this problem familiar to anyone out there? If so, can it be treated at home without resorting to the doctor?

Have you tried plugging the xlr direct into the wall socket? That should provide the boost you're looking for.

As Aristophenes said "Can you smell something burning?"

Is the switch hard-wired or does it connect to the preamp with a jack socket? If the latter, make sure the jack is connected properly.

Al uses that button for a 10db boost during solos, so I suggest perhaps taking less solos or tell the guy your playing with to TURN DOWN A NOTCH!!!!

Thanks, fellas. I plugged directly into the wall. I am definitely darker, but now have problems with the hard wiring. The house still smells of burnage. Gotta drag myself down to the corner drugstore to get a boost. Why didn't I just buy a Takamine? Or stick to my old Stella?
