Pod 2.0 and Floorboard

I have been using a POD 2.0 for about two years now and love it along with the floorboard.  The Wah stopped working -- no sweep -- so I took it to an electronics place in Rochester, NY -- worked for a short time.  Now nothing.  I bought a new Floorboard that was at House of Guitars last week.  Again, no wah.  Is it possible it's my POD that is causing this to happen?  I find it unlikely that two floorboards, one fresh out of the plastic in a new package, don't work.... wondering if it's possible it's my POD 2.0.

    RE: Pod 2.0 and Floorboard

    Hello,

        The first place I would start would be to try a different CAT5 cable.  If this does not correct the problem you should try your pedal on a different compatible Line 6 device to see if this changes anything.  It may be that the photosensor on the floorpod is bad, see the following link for more information on cleaning the strip:

      Andy,

       

      Thanks for the reply.  I didn't respond immediately because I have kids and just got around today to checking out my floorboard.

       

      No, the strip for the wah is fine. Everything looked great inside the floorboard.

       

      This brings me back to my original question: given that I used two floorboards, including one brand new, and both have the same problem -- the wah not giving me any sweep, is it possible it's something wrong with the pod rather than the two floorboards?  If so, is there anything to do other than to replace the pod?

       

      I hope to hear back from you.  Thanks!

        I see that this is not rare in search for answers as to why the wah pedal on my Floorboard would not sweep. Could be a transistor. That's what my problem was. I believe it is position Q1 on the circuit board directly below the pedals. (There are two of them. (Q1 & Q2) Looks like one is for the Volume and one for the Wah. It's the one closest to the Wah.) You can get it at Radio Shack. Part # is 2N4401.

         

        Disclaimer...I am not an electronics technician, and i don't play one on TV. I did, however, fix my Floorboard. Take the suggestion at your own risk.
