I recently picked up an older DOD FX25 envelope filter. It was filthy but works after some cleaning with the excpetion the foot switch contact is worn out. As it is now it's always on so at least i can use it for stuiod stuff but I'd like to fix the contact. I toook it apart and I assume most of the DOD series work the same way. There is the black plastic stomp piece on the outside and this pushes against a small contact which is on a PCB flush against the center of the black plastic. I've determined the contact is the issue as after cleaning everything I was able to get it to be intermittent if I pressed on it with my hands but even then it was erratic and only worked once every few dozen presses. Does anyone know what the part# for the contact is? Better yet is there a different name for this or a description that might work if I were to call DOD and ask for the part? I put a pic of it up here: http://www.helpwantedproductions.com/pix/fx25part.jpg It's a bit blurry but I took the front and back . the part is the black disk on the left side, the pcb back of that small board is on the right. another shot of just the part with the pedal casing is at: http://www.helpwantedproductions.com/pix/fx25.jpg Any help greatly appreciated. I have quite a few filters and autowahs but this one is very unigue and sounds great IMO. There is the newer FX25B out now (well it has been out for a long time but it's newer that the model I have. Can anyone comment or compare the blue 25b to the sound of the original dark green 25?
