Re: funky footswitch

[Kim Flint <kflint@atitech.com>]

it's probably the switch gone bad or dirty or whatever. It's very simple to
fix, actually. You can probably get Gibson/Oberheim to fix it, or you could
do it yourself if you can manage a soldering iron. Gibson would probably
send you one of the switches if you ask them, or you can by the exact same
part from Mouser. (www.mouser.com, don't remember the part#, sorry).  Or 
you
could get a completely different switch if you want. Just has to be a
momentary switch, preferably the industrial variety. 

If you open the pedal up, you'll see its very easy to replace a switch. We
intentionally designed the footpedal to have a very simple circuit so that
it could suffer any manner of abuse and then be repaired by practically 
anyone. 

good luck-
