Members thezeng Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 as much as i love the pedals themselves, i hate the jacks. whenever i pull the pedal out, i have to use so much force the the pedal hits something else and i get worried about the paint chips.. is there anyway i can make them as loose as boss as ehx jacks? im using george L's, and they are fine with all other pedals (bar MXR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 When you remove the cable, brace your fingers against the enclosure as you pull the jack out and apply pressure slowly. Dont just yank them out. If you remove the cables slowly with progressively more pressure as you pull the plug, theyll come out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gang twanger Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 How hard do you mean? Like on a Fulltone, Analog Man, Sweet Sound, or Throbak? They all have similar jacks. I'm just trying to get an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members T3 Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 it's the strength of the springy bit mating with the recess in the tip connection, you can open up the pedal and bend this out a little... personally, i'd leave them tight but making good connection...

Members Killing Nevada Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 i found that if you rotate the cable a bit when pulling it comes out very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
