Title: CP45000 Bypass issue
Post by: radar.rohan on February 15, 2025, 11:48:23 PM

Hey there, I posted about this a while ago but it fell off my plate!

Loving the unit. But I'm having an issue where intermittently the unit seems to fall into bypass even though it looks like it's all still working properly.

Lights still on and meter working etc, but signal unaffected. 

Drastically adjusting the gan pot or the threshold (particularly the gain pot) does seem to sometimes shock it into working again. But not consistently.

Any thoughts?

Thanks heaps for you help. Love to get it working as I'm loving it.

Cheers

Is this hapenning to both channels at the same time?
Do you hear the bypass relay clicking when it happens?
First thing to do would be to check the solder joints on the connectors CN1a, CN1b, CN2a, CN2b and on the threshold and makeup pots.
