    Re: BD-2 vs BD-2w?

    Following the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS), the European Union banned the use of lead in most consumer electronic products from 2006 due to health problems associated with lead and the "high-tech trash" problem, leading to a re-focusing on the issue of whisker formation in lead-free solders.

      I had forgotten that was a phenomenon. Glad it seems to be working!
      It's really fun when it occurs within microprocessors.

        That's what I'm guessing was going on. I remember that when I bought the solder to wire up the pedal it was supposed to be some kind of newer/safer solder. I guess they hadn't completely worked out the bugs. :P
