kennydrock Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have a POD HD500X and the Wah has been working fine. All of a sudden, at a show, I step on the toe to engage and nothing...no Wah. The light doesn't switch for EXP. The VOLUME portion still works with the pedal, as in some of my presets have a volume and the pedal works for that...but turning on the Wah isn't working, and YES, I'm pressing hard enough.

BillBee Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hey Joel, Have you ever opened that puppy up to see if it was either the plunger mech or the switch? If the assembly is like the X3L it should be on a separate daughter board. Might be a connection - like a ribbon cable - needs to be snugged up. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joel_brown Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'd really like to hear what fixed this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Was probably trying to operate it with his hand. When I first got mine I thought the switch was faulty. It is quite a press required to engage the toe switch! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
