I have an older Wampler Faux Analog Echo pedal that would turn off the whole board sometimes when switched on, but not always. I called Wampler to see about sending it back for repair. The tech walked me through removing the footswitch assembly and cleaning it with contact cleaner. It worked saving me the time and money to send the pedal back. Kudos Wampler tech guys! Great vid BTW thanks.
Love this new series from you guys, looking forward to the soldering tutorial!
I have a 25 year old voodoo labs super fuzz that started having a drastic volume drop. No scratchiness, tied different power sources and cables, just not enough signal coming through the pedal when powered on. I tried taking it apart and cleaning everything but no luck
I’ve been debating on whether to take it to a shop to possibly pay to repair it but this video inspired me to try again. Works just fine now!
Thank you for this. Have always wondered about how to maintain my pedals. Great info.
I've done maintenance and repairs on plenty instruments, amps and pedals, and it's not just the contact cleaner you need...
To have a longer lasting effect, you take 3 steps, and the shop that sold you the cleaner will also have the next two, as shown here:
Step 1:
Indeed, the first step is this contact cleaner spray. Just enough will do, no need to overdo it.
Turn pots, plug in jacks, press switches - all that jazz.
Step 2:
Use a contact washer spray.
This will neutralise the contact cleaner (necessary!) and wash away any dirt and corrosion that just got loose after the first spray.
Turn / press / plug again a few times, and then give it some time to evaporate. Any rubbish is now where it can't trouble functionality anymore :)
Step 3:
Spray some contact lubricant.
Sounds dodgy, I know, but it's what will keep your - now nice and clean - contacts sparkly and functioning as advertised for a good long time.
This lubricant will prevent, or at the very least: slow down, new corrosion on those fresh contact surfaces.
That's it :)
Done like this might very well even clean the footswitch when someone in the audience threw beer all over your pedalboard.
Had thát happen, and while "true bypass" sounds like a great idea, those footswitches are definitely *not* waterproof, unfortunately....
A silicon ring tightly around the stem of that switch might help, though ;)
I love my truetone mA tester. It’s such a handy tool when building pedal boards, especially when integrating digital pedals and others with more current draw
Super useful. thanks for making a great informational video!
Liked and subbed!
This is the pedal content we need.
This guy is a genius for video ideas...
Great help, keep ‘em coming 🎉
Really good info, thanks!
More stuff means more maintenance.. this is not just pedals... this is everything, this is life. Think about that before you decide to buy a bunch of pedals, amps, guitars, cars, computers, whatever... more stuff means more of your time on maintenance. Don't complicate your life any more than you have to.
Really helpful! Thanks!
Such an incredible resource! You are the average guys hero!

Love the hair!
Bi. Nice video. I would like to know how to Change The led on a pedal. My EHX Nano Bug Muff has a broken led
I want to win the guitar to lord it over all of my guitar playing friends as a Gauntlet of dominance and victory. And also it's cool. And also Kris played it. AN=nd also congrats on 400k, fellas. Well done.
nice moonswatch
I’m using WD-40 contact cleaner. It does look a hell lot like the all purpose oil lol.
On guitar output jacks, when you get that squelch/intermittent signal loss…Is that a cleaning issue? Or a “replace the jack” issue?
Make sure your contact cleaner is labeled safe for plastics..this is extremely important
The dog is the real rockstar ❤
Thanks for the video. What's the brand and model for the ratcheting spanner you were using in the video? And what sockets do I need for that? Cheers
amzn.to/3TFuV6H In the video it's the ESP one, but I really like this dunlop one as well
@@MythosPedals Thanks but I don't mean that one. I meant the ratcheting one you used to tighten the pot's washer in the video.
I have some old (early 80’s) Boss pedals that I’m not sure what their power voltages are (9V, 12v, etc). I’ve been told they can vary. I can not find ANY information on line regarding this. Is there a site you know of that I’ve missed? Is the information I’ve been given wrong? Are all Boss pedals a standard 9V regardless? I just don’t want to damage any of these vintage pedals. My Bosses are my “babies).
What about whah petals
I have some pedals that got knocked around a bit and compacted the knobs causing the knobs to not turn so freely and needing more force to turn. How do I undo the damage and get the pots to turn smoothly again?
Loosen the set screw on the knob and raise the knobs, it's probably just catching on the threading. Just loosen, raise, tighten and you should be golden.
@@MythosPedals sweet, thanks!
what about shining footswitches
Use a little naptha on a rag to clean up any grime.
BOING!
And don't force the straw deep into that opening ( I've seen it done! ).
wanna buy an ol retroman uber vibe and fix it? :D
thanks for sharing
