I've used these Wedgies for many years now. I like them for the thumb indentation that helps with grip.
I've recently started fiddling about with my EQ to try and remove some of the 'click' but I still want clank. Not there yet
Ah ok. To clarify, the pencil is used to poke in the earth socket to open the guards on the live and neutral sockets to allow the pins to enter. As soon as they start to slide in, I'd remove the pencil as it's not needed from then on.
Well I did use it for a number of gigs and then sat in the bag for a while (hence the six months). TBH, we used to do similar in a computer store I worked in years ago when we got euro plugs in on something. At least I wasn't using a screwdriver to stick in the earth socket 😆
Does anybody else have a dodgy temp fix that has become semi-permanent?
The earth pin somehow snapped off my pedal board power cube PSU whilst in its case. An IKEA pencil in the bottom of my gig bag pocket and a quick reshape with the multitool and voila! It's now fixed to the PSU with a hair tie and after six months is proving is efficacy 😃
OK.
The spring does make contact when the switch is depressed but there isn't enough of it to activate the microswitch. I popped a nylon pick between the TACT and the spring, tried again and there is a definite click and the light activates and deactivates. So it's down to the spring.
