Sansamp programmable BDDI switches

Recommended Posts

The footswitches on my Sansamp Programmable BDDI have taken to only working sometimes.

Anyone else had this problem?

Is there an easy fix?

I believe the switches are a bit weird and not standard DPDT ones, so probably not easy to replace?

 

Or if anyone know a pedal fixer anywhere around Birmingham or Manchester, let me know.

Cheers

I've never looked inside mine but I've assumed from the way they work that they are non latching/momentary switches. You hold them down to programme the settings so the switching must be done in the circuitry, the switch is just sending a signal to the processor. Mine all click when pressed so I'd guess that's a spring giving a good positive contact.

 

I'd be looking to see how clean it is inside the box blowing out any dirt/dust/spiders that have accumulated, paying special attention to the switches of course. If that doesn't fix it use a bit of Servisol switch cleaner (not WD40 or anything oil based) might solve the problem. Only on the dodgy ones though. No point in disturbing anything working :)

I took the sides off and blew all the dust out, switch cleanered all the switches (I know, I know...) and ham-fistedly prodded the springs with an allen key until they looked about in the middle-ish... something worked as it seems to be back to normal.

Here endeth the lesson.
