Replacing faulty footswitch on EHX Battalion?

[Rubbersoul]

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.

Swapping a switch out is easy... a pic would be good. Wires or PCB Mounted?

And where are you bassed(!)

This is the switch here. I'm based in Bangor, Northern Ireland.

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.

Thanks. I'll see if anybody I know has more experience at this than me, I'm scared of wrecking the thing.

If... you don't need to By-Pass You could link pins on the back of the switch for Always-On

I wasn’t aware you could do that but I think I’d rather have the option to bypass.
