Re: How to fix an echoplex footswitch?

[Ted Killian <tedkillian@charter.net>]

Markus,

To my knowledge (and I owned a pair of 'em for 16 years) those resistors 
don't "wear out".

It's the switches that go bad.

If you buy a bag of them from Mouser online and learn how to 
solder/unsolder them you will never regret it.

BTW, you can also buy more long-lasting reliable switches.

However, they tend to be ones that turn on/off with a loud click.

Although the buttons on the EDP footswitch are a little prone to give out 
after a while (particularly on the most used buttons), they have the 
virtue of being nice and quiet for live performance.

My 2 cents.
