Members J.Paul Posted August 17, 2010 Members Share Posted August 17, 2010 I've been playing outside all summer (mostly in the dirt) and will be disassembling and reassembling my pedalboard in the fall for preventative maintenance. I'd like to clean all the yucko off the pedals. What do you guys use for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheCardiacKid Posted August 17, 2010 Members Share Posted August 17, 2010 for really tough stuff Goo Gone is great. just make sure you apply it to the rag, NOT to the pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reauchambeau Posted August 17, 2010 Members Share Posted August 17, 2010 I ruined a brand new Keely Java Boost by using Isoproplyl alcohol to remove sticker residue (took the graphics with it). be careful with chemicals, I'd just use soapy water.

Members Ronsonic B Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 Formula 409 and a paint brush. Water and paintbrush rinse and towel / sun / air hose dry. Caig Deoxit for the jacks, switches, pots and everything else electronical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 In before "recommend a pool cleaner" parody. I was tempted to say hydrochloric acid, but I was afraid someone would take me seriously. Similar to what Ron said - I use a soft nylon brush to "dust" my pedals when they get dusty. I use Caig DeOxit on the jacks / plugs and switches as needed. I normally don't have any gunk or sticky stuff on them, but on the rare occasions where there's something like that, a bit of water on a rag or a bit of pump bottle guitar polish (currently Gibson, but whatever's on sale... ) and buffing with a cloth will normally clean it off. I've used Windex or 409 in a pinch... but straight water is normally all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 To the guy that said that he doesn't clean them. After a lot of gigs they get dusty and switches and pots can get a bit funky. I clean it all every now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
