FIX TC D-TWO Left Encoder. Do it. Fix your stuff.
Fix your own stuff. When it's not a disaster it's awesome. Not speaking in the vid today. Doesn't add anything and I am annoying. This also isn't a tutorial really, but just so you see how straightforward and possible some of these fixes are. This one is hilariously easy. Seriously though, I can't tell you what to do , but don't toss audio equipment just because a capacitor is bad or an encoder isn't encoding. Some of these things are easy fixes and the process can be satisfying too. This is a TC Electronic D-Two. It's a popular delay unit. Sounds very good. The encoders eventually wear out, making them miserable to use. If you can find the part, it is this easy to put another one in with some basic soldering skills. Worth trying, especially if you were going to recycle one of these excellent sounding, yet way out of warranty delay units. That being said, as with anything, don't get mad at me if you find a way to blow something up or electrocute yourself. It's still electronics and all the normal precautions apply. And don't get mad at yourself if something turns out to be more complicated a problem. If this isn't fun, then it might be time to just go and get a new one like you would have in the first place. Unless you electrocute yourself on the power supply or burn your house down, it's a win win situation!
