thisnameistaken Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'll give you £50 for the OC-2 if the footswitch is still in good functional order (no stepping on it a dozen times to get it to toggle on/off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Tried putting something on top of the switch bit inside so its a fraction taller on the bust ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be a dirty switch. Anyway enough hijacking of the for-sale thread. Sorry, OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes finding another one (I've seen a few on ebay recently) or getting the one you've already got repaired (shouldn't be too difficult).
