ergon Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well like a complete moron i hought it would be safe to leave my RC-2 on the floor for a few hours and with only myself to blame, trod on and resultingly bent the volume knob I've had a trawl on the internet with little luck, does anyone know if it is possible to get hold of spare parts for my RC-2 pedal or is it a case of remove the broken switch and attempt to bend it back to shape? It wasn't cheap (around £130 at the time) and I don't want to find that it's broken with no warranty to cover it. Please make suggestions if you can, thank you.

They can probably sell you the spare part. (I think that under UE regulations they have to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgrsr400 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) If I was near a Maplin Electronics shop, I'd pop in with the unit and ask someone. They stock pots, resistors, etc etc. Unfortunatey these shops are staffed with a ratio of about one clued-up person to four clueless ones, so YMMV.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Why not try a guitar/amp repair shop. Denmark st. perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 if you decide to sell it for spares/repairs at a vastly reduced price, can I have first dibs seriously tho' I agree with SilentFly, you may as well try to bend it back. Take your time with it, you might want to prise the knob off and then bend the shaft straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
