#297462 - 10/24/10 01:52 PM Odd foot pedal behavior....
Bill in Dayton Senior Member Registered: 08/23/04 Posts: 2207 Loc: Dayton, OH USA	Gang- I'm been experiencing some weird things from my foot pedal for my digitech vocalist harmonizer. It seems that sometimes...not all the time...that the pedal will "activate or de-activate" the harmonizer if my foot gets close to the pedal. Not stepping on it, mind you... I can't seem to reproduce this effect with any consistency. My hunch is that the pedal is likely in need of some repair... Any ideas? ------------------ Bill in Dayton _________________________ Bill in Dayton

This has been a problem for many years and was never addressed. Boss pedals, the type that locked together, were notorious for this problem.

Good Luck, Gary Gary, I was a Boss dealer for many years..and never heard of this problem..I would think that Bill's problem was a ground fault problem with him being the activist... _________________________ www.francarango.com
