Old Volume Pedal Problems

[ingwing]

Hi everybody,
I recently changed the pot and string in my OLD EB Mono Volume Pedal, and I have some probs with the instructions I found on the EB homepage:
1. If I wind the string as described and shown in the picture (around the brass pulley, starting from the "inside" or back of the pedal), the pot seems to be turned in the wrong direction when the pedal is operated.
2. If I wind the string around the brass pulley starting from the front side, the pedal won't stay in the "off" position. There seems to be too much pull on the spring that makes the pedal move. As a result I can not have the signal cut when I take my foot off the pedal.

If anyone can give me some hints I'd be really glad. Make it simple, I seem to be too stupid for this ;-)

Thanks and best regards,
Ingwing

Anybody?

Nobody had problems with replacing the string?

The sticky near the top of the page gives info on how to have EB refurbish the pedal. It's fast cheap easy and what I would recommend. Or keep trying it yourself and best of luck to you. Let us know what you end up doing.
