BassBeast Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Hello team, EBS have very kindly sent me a free new foot switch for me UniChorus. As you can see in the photo I’d need to attach it to the old EBS board once the old one is removed. Thing is, I have no soldering kit / confidence to do it myself and looking at the private music shops costs of up to £100 for labour, it’s crazy to ask them to do something so small. I wonder if there’s anyone here who happens to live in London (within cycling distance or Willesden) with some very steady skills who could help me attach the switch? Too cheeky to ask? I can traid some organic greens grown at my community garden as a thank you. Apologies if my post shouldn’t go up.

BassBeast Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Thank you! Have you worked on effects pedals before? I assume yes. Looking at it, looks as if I couldn’t go wrong if I reverse engineered the connection. Was looking at lead free solder. Only need a bit. It’s a one off job. Perhaps I could get a USB solder iron? Any thoughts there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yeah, did a bit wiring up, leads, circuit boards and all that... previous life... Wired up my guitar yesterday... Don't think my solder is lead free it's all leftovers from 30 odd years ago. Dunno about USB irons, can't see 'em getting warm enough with the power available. There was a 'which soldering iron' thread... Someone is bound to be local, Real simple 5 min job that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
