Attention all people with knob issues
28 Jan 2007, 21:42I just fixed my FX7... as you know, some have had issues regarding the control knobs (changing values by themselves) and fixing this baby was a mistery, until now. Its very easy fix, I believe anyone can do it in less than 2 hours. I can explain step by step what I did if someone requests it and if thats cool with the mods.
Oh, the question: What causes this problem?
Possible answer: From what I saw, the soldering of the potentiometers is quite delicate, so if you apply too much pressure to the knobs you can actually break the connection to the pcb, I had some trouble to find that out but when I looked very closely, about 9 connections were damaged.
Advice: Re-solder the connections and apply a bit more soldering so it is sturdier.
Im very happy right now, my FX is back to normal.
