Members -groovatious- Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hey guys I've posted this over at the ION Yahoo Group, but thought I'd check here Also. The Octave Down key on my ION seems to have a problem. Sometimes it won't work and you have to press hard and wiggle it to make it work. Other times, you just touch it and it will jump 2 or 3 octaves. Does anyone know if there is a somewhat easy fix to this problem? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpatz Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 The switch is defective or there is a bad solder joint. Is your ION still under warranty? If it's a solder joint, and you know how to solder, it can be fixed in 5 minutes or so (depending on how easy it is to take the ION apart). If it's the switch, the switch will have to be replaced.

Members Allerian Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Fwiw, I just fixed a twitchy button on my Adrenalinn pedal. It was as simple as a dust bunny wedged between the button itself and the contact on the surface-mounted switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members raffor Posted January 26, 2008 Members Share Posted January 26, 2008 I found the schematics on the net. There is an explosion picture of the ION that shows you how to take it apart. If you cannot find it, PM me and I send you a copy. The switch should be an easy fix as is the output FET replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
