Hi guys, I've got a Menatone King of the Britains that died on me right after a gig fortunately, the pedal worked fine until then.
I bought it from Craigslist here in NYC so I don't have the original receipt, I've emailed and left a message to the company to see if they can repair it but no one got back to me.
I want to know if any of you had a better luck with them and if so what did you do.

Thanks

R

Brian Mena is a great guy and you should have no issue getting it fixed. I would try giving him a call. He can get crazy busy.

Email ain't the best way to get an answer. :jo

Unless you did something like power it with a pos. tip source or something, it's likely just the stomp switch that failed. It's about a $10 repair, and any local tech could do it.

I got a used TBIAC that worked just fine for the seller, but didn't work for me when I got it. I sent it back to the seller and he took it to a tech who apparently replaced one of the transistors. When I got it back it worked just fine.

I emailed Menatone about the problem and they got back to me after about 2 weeks.

I'd call Menatone.

I really wanted a KOTB a while ago....
tried to email Menatone a few times for some info.... they never answered me.... so I went with other pedals...

they're really simple pedals if you take a look inside you might be able to see the issue right up front.
