I broke my RC-2 :'(

[ergon]

Well like a complete moron i hought it would be safe to leave my RC-2 on the floor for a few hours and with only myself to blame, trod on and resultingly bent the volume knob
I've had a trawl on the internet with little luck, does anyone know if it is possible to get hold of spare parts for my RC-2 pedal or is it a case of remove the broken switch and attempt to bend it back to shape?
It wasn't cheap (around £130 at the time) and I don't want to find that it's broken with no warranty to cover it. Please make suggestions if you can, thank you.

Considering that you have nothing to loose, I would try to bend it back.

You can also contact Roland (+44 (0) 1792 702701). They can probably sell you the spare part. (I think that under UE regulations they have to)

thankyou for the quick response and i'll give that a try tommorrow

If I was near a Maplin Electronics shop, I'd pop in with the unit and ask someone. They stock pots, resistors, etc etc. Unfortunatey these shops are staffed with a ratio of about one clued-up person to four clueless ones, so YMMV.

Why not try a guitar/amp repair shop. Denmark st. perhaps

if you decide to sell it for spares/repairs at a vastly reduced price, can I have first dibs

seriously tho' I agree with SilentFly, you may as well try to bend it back. Take your time with it, you might want to prise the knob off and then bend the shaft straight
