Rubbersoul Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hi. My Battalion has developed a faulty switch that needs replaced. Is this an easy job for a person with limited soldering skills? The pedal works fine in bypass but when the switch is pressed, nothing. Thanks in advance for any help. I've used switch cleaner and a air duster to try and knock out any dust but I've had no success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Swapping a switch out is easy... a pic would be good. Wires or PCB Mounted? And where are you bassed(!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbersoul Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 This is the switch here. I'm based in Bangor, Northern Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 A good solder-sucker is needed. And care not to over heat the tracks heating the pins removing the old one... Prolly take a few visits to each pin and a bit of leavering out. Saying that a good solder sucker and precision could clear each pin first time. If ya were local i'd give it a go for you.

Rubbersoul Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Thanks. I'll see if anybody I know has more experience at this than me, I'm scared of wrecking the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 If... you don't need to By-Pass You could link pins on the back of the switch for Always-On Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbersoul Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 I wasn’t aware you could do that but I think I’d rather have the option to bypass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
