DFX Board bypass on phonic powerpod 740 plus or delux
If this is a mixer with the 2 digit LED display for the effects, and the rotating selector switch with the 'push to lock in' the effect type, then the effects board is a separate unit that attached via a miniature dip connector on it's underside. You can definately run without it by removing the 4 screws that hold it on and gently lifting it off the main mixer board assembly.
You need to ask yourself why the board toasted in the first place before just replacing it, other wise you'll end up with 2 pieces of toast with your breakfast!!
You can order parts from Phonic, and I believe they actually offer a flat rate repair service for the plus and deluxe series of powered mixers (you pay the shipping both ways.)
Contact Casey at (800) 430-7222 or

BTW - the digital effects boards are kind of scarce right now at the repair facility - might take a while to get one
Best of luck.
