Hblum01 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Occasionally hear a tiny squeak from the expression pedal. Works fine etc. any ideas about safe lubricant that could be used if it gets louder? Howie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminjimlp Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Mine dose the same thing.... looks like only a few that have this problem.... I noticed that if I don't lean on the unit (like I do on my Vox Wha) it don't do it... but to answer your question I thought of using graphite like what is used in cameras. I posted a thread about this a wile back http://line6.com/support/topic/16433-exp-squeaks-when-i-put-my-foot-on-it-to-use-it/?hl=squeak let me know if the graphite works...

Haven't tried this with the Helix (not squeaking), but I had a similar issue with my HD500 and I used just a tiny bit of lithium grease. Worked great and never squeaked again.

gtrnstuff Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Mine squeaked loudly, measured about 75 dB at 1'. Removing the bottom cover and loosening the pedal set screw with the supplied allen wrench let me put a couple small smears of lithium grease between the pedal and the bushing it presses against. It didn't stop squeaking until I put a couple drops of Tri Flow in there. So far, so good. Saved time and $ shipping it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flotsam71 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Just thought I'd jump in here....My expression pedal was squeaky...if you look with a flashlight down the left and inside of the exp pedal it seems to be like a rubber grommet kinda thing. Just a tad of dry lube with the little red extension thing to be more accurate... seems to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
