timmyo Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 There was mention of an imminent official line on the approved way to fix the pedal squeak - did we ever see that? Mine is ridiculously loud and I am keen to not void the warranty... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I loosened the tension adjustment on mine and it stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is ever going to know the difference if you put a small amount of silicon grease on the squeaky pedal... especially if you don't announce to the world that you've done it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicLaw Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Get a small bottle of TriFlow. It comes with an thin applicator tube. One drop will be all you need on the Bolt. TriFlow also will not attract any dust, grime, nor dirt. Highly recommended. And, I have not yet seen any official posting from Line 6 as was originally mentioned several weeks ago. I am confident it will be forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbright44 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Mine just started doing it today.... Out-of nowhere. The sound guy in the back of an 80p seat auditorium could hear it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 This is a Quality Control feature, reminding you that absence makes the fart go honda... That said, add a tiny bit of Carmex on the squeaky parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedulrich Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I had a bottle of 3-In-One silicone lubricant kicking around the house when mine started to sound like a dying cat. I don't use anything other than silicone around plastic. I put a small drop of this stuff in a bottle cap, then loosened the pedal pivot bolt enough to get some lateral movement in the pedal. I then dipped the end of a paper clip into the drop, and gently rubbed it around the plastic washers, then re-tightened the bolt to my preferred tension. About 10 back and forth sweeps of the pedal later, the noise was gone, and it hasn't come back since. Note that I used barely ANY of this stuff, just enough to wet the end of the paper clip. Too much can get into the electronics or attract dust. Less is more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyo Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 I eventually got some of this : (as I'm in the UK and don't think the exact products mentioned above are easily available) and it did the job perfectly. As others had, I loosened the adjustment bolt right off and used the long thin applicator to spray a tiny amount on the bolt shaft. Silence reigns :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW there are no electronics beneath the pedal so I wouldn't worry about spraying a small amount in there. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
