Hi, I sent an email to Support and received an email that referred me here.
The foot switch for my beloved Pittbull 45 is not working correctly. All of its functions work except for the effects loop switch. The effects button either won’t engage the loop, or, alternatively, it won’t allow me to turn it off once it’s been engaged. Playing around with the cord will sometimes get it to function properly, but not all of the time. I don’t know if this is a repair that you guys will do or if I should take it to some “other” kind of shop (honestly not sure what kind of shop that would be). Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks!
Assuming this is the later model with the 6-pin DIN connector, you either have a loose screw on the footswitch cable end connector housing, a break in the cable itself, or a poor ground connection on the chassis side.
Here is a (admittedly crude) doc that shows how to address everything except a cable break.
In the case of a break, you need to cut the cable at the box end or the cable end and rewire the cable, or replace the cable. We have the cable available in that event.
Thanks! Yeah, it’s the 6-pin type of connector. I’ve just been messing with it now, and it’s working properly again (didn’t work last night at the gig). I’m hoping it’s the ground tab, as that seems to be the most straightforward fix.
