Jesse, I did this to my Pettyjohn Chime v1 (killer pedal) which was cutting out when I stepped on it or it was going to half the volume. It has worked an absolute treat, it's like new! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
My question is, how did you manage to learn electronics, build a pedal manufacturing business and venture into film making (including film score I believe) all while being such a world class blues/rock, even experimental guitarist, most of us barely manage 10 licks one amp and a guitar and a day job ... you seem to be a true renaissance man.
I did it and it worked but there was this constant feedback and the volume switch on the pedal and my bass changed the pitch of the feedback it was kinda cool but broken so I opened it up and had to clean a bunch of metal shaving and some grease of the parts inside the blue switch box Thanks alot rock on
Just wanted to point out to everyone, because this just happened to me... Isoproyl alcohol will eat through your pedals paint... I now have a splotchy mess of a pedal where the excess alcohol ran off onto the pedal surface and the paint peeled off. What a disaster.
Thanks for the input. Are you sure you were using isopropyl and not switch cleaner or acetone. Alcohol should have no effect on pedal graphics or paint. Can you share which pedal it was?
very helpful tips.Thanks
This is SSSOOOOOOO helpful! I've got a pedal with this issue and was about to order a new switch but will def try this first.

That’s really kind of you! Just trying to make the most of this strange life. :)
You rule for making this 🥳 🙏
Thank you so much! Great tip 👍👍. BTW….. The Soloist continues to be one of my favorite pedals. The sound is very natural & amp~like 👏👏👏
Thanks!
Does contact cleaner work as well?
Yes is can work but contact cleaner contains other chemicals that could stain a pedal and not evaporate completely.
@@jessetwohands thanks for the info!
Would wd40 work too or isopropyl alcohol is better? Thank you.
WD40 is not recommended, it leaves a residue and can remove the artwork from pedals.
The botón of my foot switch got loose, but just the metal button thingie that covers the spring, do you know what can I do to put it back in?
You probably need to replace the switch.
Bout to try this on my Russian bass big muff
