Boss RV3 needs repair

Fuzzy Plant · Post by **Fuzzy Plant** » 9 Jun 2011 7:33 am

My RV3 became a problem as the switch stopped working. So, I then ordered a replacement switch from Roland, It worked for a short time and then stopped suddenly. Is it really worth having it repaired, if it is possible, or should I look for another one? Does anyone out there do those repairs? I'm at a loss. HELP!

you could send it to the BOSS repair shop in Los Angeles, check their website, they also show a list of authorized repair shops.

I have a Boss pedal that needs repair..I contacted Boss and learned it was just as cheap to replace it..They could take a lesson from Peavey on customer care..

Thanks guys, I kinda thought it might be wiser to buy a new one. I've been looking at the Behringer
DR400. Know anybody who has one of them? If it's comparable to the Boss,or even real close, I just might get one of them; the price is great.

Thanks again guys! Fuzzy

I have one that I have used for a couple of years with no problem.It sounds as good as my friend's DD3, but much cheaper.The only problem that I have been told about is that once you have a problem with it you just throw it away as you cannot get them repaired, but then again for what you pay you can afford to do that.

I think analogman.com can fix them.

Thanks to y'all for your input. I thank Malcolm for his imput especially. I believe it's the smartest thing to do (buy the Behringer DR400). So, I just ordered it for $36.40 new.

I had real good luck with repair on a couple BOSS pedals, and very reasonable!
