SIGNAL PASSES THROUGH IN BYPASS BUT NOT
WHEN ENGAGED:
Make sure you´ve connected the input and output
jacks correctly.
PEDAL DOES NOT WORK WITH THE POWER SUPPLY:
Take a look at your power supply output voltage and
polarity. Make sure it's 9V DC negative tip with a minimum
output of 100 mA.
I CAN'T NOTICE THE MENTIONED TONE COLORATION:
1. Check out your guitar has an internal preamp! Even
some vintage style guitars can have one and possibly
make the signal impedance to drop. This will make
The Windmiller Preamp pedal unable to interact with
the pickups.
2. Make sure there's no pedal between the guitar and
The Windmiller Preamp. Even though a pedal is true
bypass, when it's on it isolates the pickups and changes
the signal impedance.
THERE'S NO SIGNAL BOOST WHEN THE WINDMILLER
PREAMP IS ON:
Probably the pedal (or amp) next to it doesn't have enough
headroom to handle it! Try to lower the gain on your amp
and check if there's an overdrive pedal engaged.
