LeftyBiskit Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Hi All, Recently the EQ switch on my Ashdown Mag 400 head has been playing up and now the fault has manifested to a degree that when I push the switch in to turn the EQ on no sound comes out-so I cant use the EQ cct. the switch itself doesnt lock in with a single click when pressed in more so that there seems to be a double action when pressed resulting in a false position where no contact is made-meaning I need to change the switch. does anyone know where I can get a new one, thanks in advance.

Monckyman Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 They usually send out the bulbs for the VU free, and seem friendly types, so yes, iether send you one or charge a small fee. Will you fit it yourself? My understanding is it`s mounted directly to the front board and may be a bit fiddly for keen enthusiasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a look where the switch is mounted and It is indeed mounted to the PCB,I've got the tools and skills to replace it I'll just have be careful when applying the heat to the board before desoldering.
