Seized pot shafts on a pedal

Ah, that sounds promising! Using heat is a good trick that I hadn't thought of.

I have a small very controllable heat-gun that I use for heat-shrink tubing. Careful heat often works - if the metals are dissimilar enough the heat causes expansion at different rates and that releases the binding.

A pro fix and a pro tip. Win-Win!

Fixed. Tested. Shipping back.

The reverse protection diode was also burned out. Needed some track repair. All done.

Nice pedal...

Thank you so much

No worries! Should be back to you in about a week.

Did the pedal go back together and work ok?
