FV-500L

Hi.

I have an FV-500 L that is noisy, the nois appers when i push it from 0 to 100%.I unscrewed it but there was no dust inside so I just took a Q-tip and some water to gently clean it. Can I use isopropanol to clean it, is it to recommend?

I use it with my ES-8 as an Volume control

Re: Faulty CE-2 (LED doesn't light up)

I have a distortion pedal from another brand that is gone. I can teach my self solder and take the LED from that pedal as I have learned to solder. I think I will do it like that.

I have now checked again and the meter is fluctuating between 410 and 414. I checked the others and there are several that give no reading. Some I can't get to and measure directly on the pins (front side), so I have to measure them on the soldering iron (back side).

Re: New (broken) pedal day!

Ok. I haven`t heard about it before i did see that video. I have an Alesis SR-16 drum machine, I have to press very hard to get things to happen on the pads, can I use the q-tip with contact cleaner there to? I haven`t use it for years. I picked it up the other day to test it, it was unusable becaus...
