cheddatom Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The footswitches on my B2.1U stopped working properly a while a go. Sometimes they'd stick, sometimes they just wouldn't work. The other day I decided to get off my lazy arse and fix it, so I thought i'd share my findings here. The foot switches are actually micro switches underneath the things you step on. On my pedal, the poles you step on weren't reaching the micro switches. I searched for ages online looking for a good fix, but it seems people either replace the micro switches, or stick tape onto the poles to make them longer. I didn't feel like either of these were a long term option, as the micro switches seem fragile and tape can come off. I bought two momentary (non latching) footswitches from maplins. I soldered these to the back of the little PCB which had the micro switches on. Then, I got out the old footswitches and put my new ones in. The only problem is the little PCB with the micro switches on it won't screw back into place, as my new switches are taking up room. I've just taped it into place instead. Sorted!
