Dean Dime D100 help please!?

[texascountrypicker]

I bought a dean d100 off a friend who was in a bad spot and i cant figure out how to switch from the clean channel to the dirty channel independently. It seems as if channel 2 ( distortion channel) is always engaged....... Yes, it does have a setting on the footswitch to combine the two and YES i made sure it was off. but ive exhausted every combination imaginable to turn it off. The only way i can switch from clean to dirty is to roll the gain back on channel 2 by hand. Defeating the purpose of th3 footswitch and causing me a headache! Is there something im doing wrong or is this particular unit a piece? ?

Probably something wrong with the switch or jack. My old randalls had that same feature, and wwould do that if it had a short in the wire/switch..... check the connection where it plugs into the head, see if its loose, or has a dirty jack, or if the wire from the footswitch is damaged...

the problem is either the non-stereo cable you are using (instead of the correct stereo one) or in the actual input jack on the back of the head for the cable to the foot switch.

Prolly not using the proper Stereo cable.
