Is the toe switch of my POD HD 300 broken?

I was playing guitar with the wah on and when I wanted to disengage it, it just didnt work.

I was stuck on the wah.

I turned off and on the pedal thinking it was some bug but it didnt work.

My only way to switch on and off the wah is with podhd300edit.

So is the switch of my wah pedal broken?

Am I the only one with this problem?

Re: Is my POD HD 300 broken?

Two possibilities.....

1) The toe switch on Pod HD devices requires a LOT of pressure to engage it, especially for new units/pedals. It loosens up over time, but in the early stages you have to use a lot of force to engage it. You typically can't do it sitting down; you have to stand up and really put lots of pressure on it. Don't worry - you won't break it.

2) The WAH FX has to be set so that the toe switch operates the on/off status. Use the Controllers page to assign the toe switch to the WAH FX.

    did you calibrate the pedal after your most recent update?

      Yes, I did calibrate it after the last update but the last update was a couple months ago.
      
      The problem started recently.

        I reintalled everything i could...
        still no change
        
        Is it possible that inside the pod something broke?
        
        When I press on the toe switch I hear the click but it does nothing
