BOSS CH1 TICKING
I just bought this CH1 off the bay and it ticks in relation to the rate knob. This has been addressed before on the boss forum but it's no longer up so I'm just hoping someone can help, is there anything I can do to fix it or is it kaput. It's the blue label analog one if that matters.Cheers.

Re: BOSS CH1 TICKING
Man I'd be interested in this also. I have a CH-1 that "ticks" with the Rate knob as well. Really kind of a lower motorboat thing going on. I didn't really notice it until I changed a resistor to increase (double) the available rate speed. Checked my lead dress, solder connections....it's not real bad and I don't notice it on stage, just in the quite of my house...but I know its there What's also weird is that it is most noticeable with the old Marshall, less noticeable with my valve/state combo, and doesn't do it at all with my Fender Pro-Jr...so I may be looking for the problem in the wrong place.
I love the Rate mod though; cranked up I can get sort of a Stevie Ray "Couldn't Stand The Weather" thing going on; about half way up and punched with a Tube Screamer I get a "Bridge Of Sighs" vibe happening.

Re: BOSS CH1 TICKING
I was not able to get any help from anywhere with this pos, the seller called me a liar n said it was working perfectly when he tested it, oh I'm sure. I lodged a paypal dispute and you wouldn't believe it, they found in my favor. So the ticking box is on it's way back to the jerkoff that sold it. I'm not into chorus anyway, I just wanted to use it as a stereo thingy but it screws with the sound even when off. Won't get another one of these CH1s.
