I have the original version of the Barber Direct Drive; i.e. no internal trim pots.

When I play through the Direct Drive and then switch back to clean, I lose volume by about 50%. It only happens AFTER I use the DD. When I first play clean without turning it on, I'm fine. After I use it, then I have a HUGE drop in bypassed volume.

Any ideas???

Have you contacted Barber with this problem? Dave is excellent with customer service issues. See what he has to say...

I was trying to send an email earlier, but hotmail was acting stupid. I'm going to try again tonight.

Emailed Barber on the 12th, no response.

Anybody have an idea of what I should look for?? Buy something else??

Sounds like it could be a bad solder joint on the switch or possibly the switch is bad.

Dave posts here and also over at TGP. Maybe he'll jump in here.

Now it's happened to my Gainster. The EXACT SAME thing.....

What switch do I need??? And where do I get it?
