    BRILLIANT! Worked perfectly. The challenge was apparent once I'd opened the unit, but I was really scratching my head over what material to use for the repair. BOBBY PIN... OF COURES!!! I won't embarras myself by listing the things I had in mind! Many Many thanks for sharing this fix!!!

      but mine is just two knob-like circles without anything to screw on, but I noticed there were ring-like kind of things behind the knobs so I used a pair of pliers to push the little ring off as it was acting like a seal or something like that, after that I could easily take the knobs off.

    I can't figure out WHAT is wrong with my pedal, but IT ISN'T THIS. I thought it might've been the spring, but they all pop off like that, so that CAN'T be it. I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT i cried a lot right now I'm so angry. I literally am feeling keyboard withdrawal because I'd rather NOT play AT ALL then play without a pedal. Its an M-Audio.

  • @libertyjustice2703
    @libertyjustice2703 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a Lagoto III and the pedal stopped working properly, but, instead of a slotted screw which would have only required a screwdriver, they put a threaded bolt so you have to have two metric sockets just to unscrew the damn thing. Like everything made in China by 12 year old girls in sweat shops, it's a complete piece of junk. Interestingly, the origin of manufacture is listed as "made by an unknown source in China". Go figure.
