When you first obtain Audacity, it normally cannot export MP3 files. This is because the necessary LAME MP3 encoding technology is patented, and so Audacity as a free, open source program cannot distribute it. However Audacity can use the LAME encoder if you download it separately yourself (or if it’s already present on your computer) and make sure Audacity knows where it is.

basic tips to trouble-shoot the most common problems I come across with Guitar effects pedals.

MY PEDAL DOESNT SOUND RIGHT:
Firstly check the power supply, are you using the recommended supply 9v?  If you are using a battery is it over 9 volts?  Flat batteries are the cause of a huge % of pedal problems so be aware. Get a decent 9v adapter and try it then.

MY PEDAL MAKES A NOISE OR I HAVE NO LED
Check all your cables, true bypass relies on good connections, that means good cables. Try plugging your guitar into your amp with just one FX box, does it sound right? If it does sound good try adding one pedal at a time, add another and another until it sounds bad, through the process of elimination you can often find the troublesome pedal or cabling. Let me know how you have it set up..

Often you can change the order of your pedals to make your setup sound better and remove issues. Also it could be a combination of two pedals creating the noise so switch the order of them to see if the issue goes. A decent set of patch cables can make a nice difference and prevent any lossy signals.

WHEN I HAVE TWO PEDALS ON IT BUZZES LIKE MAD:
This is often because you are overloading the second pedal with the first, its okay to boost some distortions and fuzz with a light overdrive or a booster but running two fuzzes together often creates a lot of noise, if you must run two pedals together then maybe its time to upgrade to a higher gain distortion or fuzz?!?!?!

WHAT ORDER SHOULD I HAVE MY PEDALS IN:
Most people have octave effects before distortion and fuzz and distortion and fuzz before chorus, phasers, and delays but you don’t need to adhere to this, just experiment and see what sounds best to you as we are all different and like different things, there’s no right way! Have fun experimenting!

CAN I OPEN THE PEDAL AND HAVE A LOOK INSIDE ?:
Lets think about this,,hmmmm,,,NO NO and NO, Please Don’t. Unless you want to void your warranty, put the screwdriver down and send it back..
