[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I got a friend to look at it to diagnose and he thinks it was the[b] potentiometer that is faulty.[/b] [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]He has removed the potentiometer from the pedal (please see images) but i have not sourced a replacement. Rather then the hassle of finding the part and paying him to fix it, i just bought a new pedal...[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]So instead of binning it, maybe its useful to someone who knows how to fix things and knows what they are doing.

thisnameistaken Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I've swapped a pot in a VP Jr before and it's a frigging really annoyingly awkward thing to do! Don't blame you for selling it!
mrhectic Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 SOLD! Yeah it is quite a poorly designed pedal for when you need the repair it. A huge chunk of solid metal!
