Members mbengs1 Posted March 21, 2020 Members Share Posted March 21, 2020 When I try to change tempo using the stoke wheel, it sometimes skips and it's hard to get to the right tempo without it going back to the previous tempo. how can I fix this?

Members 1001gear Posted March 23, 2020 Members Share Posted March 23, 2020 Ok you're saying the jog wheel doesn't always hook up? i'm not sure exactly how those work but I'll bet it's something obstructing the circuit; just like regular pots. The other thing is you might need an update of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the scroll / value wheel, it's most likely connected to a rotary control / potentiometer underneath. I suspect that a repair (if possible) would require disassembly of the entire unit, and replacement of the potentiometer, or at the very least, cleaning it. That's not something I'd recommend someone who didn't really know exactly what they were doing to just jump in and try to DIY... you could completely ruin it accidentally. Have you tried contacting Roland / Boss to see if they have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm glad it's working for you, but once again, your "repair" methodology is highly... uh, unorthodox, and definitely NOT recommended. Electronics have a few arch-enemies. Excessive heat being one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronics have a few arch-enemies. Excessive heat being one of them. Now one of my pedals has a problem. It's an MXR phase 90 script logo with LED. It sounds good at first then it looses some 'mojo' and is less audible. I don't know what happened to it but what I do to fix it is leave it one for 4 hours. It comes back to the original state but I have to do this every now and then to maintain its performance. you think I can fix this pedal? seems like not.
