Members Shalom Joss Posted September 20, 2023 Members Share Posted September 20, 2023 I have an rc-3 looper and one of the inputs doesn't work, to send it to get fixed almost costs as much as i payed for it so it isnt worth it. I am ready to replace the input jack my self but i cant find the piece online. the jack seems to have soldering points. can i just buy any jack that also has three tips?

Question is, will the tabs match the board? If not, here's an idea that has worked for me in the past with amps and input jacks. Flip the jack around, and wired it to the board with wires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
