Fubared amp footswitch
« on: June 05, 2010, 02:04:01 AM »
The footswitch for my Pitbull is a bit buggered.  I've opened it up and it's obvious someone has messed with it at some point (I knew it was borked when I bought it). The 'channel' button works fine. The 'Boost' and 'EQ' button don't. The 'EQ asign' switch doesnt even reach to the hole - it's floating around inside! I really really don't fancy spending $146 dollars + shipping/duty etc... for a new one from Fryette!

SO..... who can fix it for me?... cheap! :-p

It's this one http://www.sfdamp.com/images/product/FC-5_Detail.jpg

Should be a very simple job.
Looks like either latching or momentary switches, nothing proprietary or hard to find.
You probably need to take it to a repair center with the amp so they can check function, especially since it's been "fixed" before.

Guess I'll email the Fryette UK dealer and see what they say

I would love to do it for you but unfortunately shipping round trip to Arizona would be ridiculous.
