Free Pedal Day.

[Swampy]

Got this volume pedal from someone on a local Facebook musician exchange page. He says the main pot is a little scratchy and doesn't want to mess with it. Going to give the pots a good spraying with contact cleaner and see what happens.

I can't find any model numbers on it. Anyone know what model it is?

I do like free. Can't find my contact cleaner. It does have a little scratchiness near the bottom of the sweep. Other than that, seems to work good. And built like a frickin' tank.

Well, that is a good deal then.

It is a 25K or 250K? 25 is keyboard.

At the time is was called the Ernie Ball Volume Pedal. The knob next to the instrument Jack is for minimum volume.

From the EB website:
"My volume pedal sounds scratchy. What should I do?
It sounds like the potentiometer might need replacing. If your pedal is old or hasn't been used for a while, there might be some oxidation in the potentiometer. Often times you can work-out the scratchiness simply by rocking the pedal back and forth many times. Information on our rebuild program is addressed in a previous question."

You can buy replacement pots (I believe this is the one):

Right now I can only read the outer pot. It's 250k. Should the other be the same? I'll check it when and if I have to take it apart.

I think they are the same. Nice score!
