FREEZE - broken mode switch

Post by DADGBD »

So, I took my Freeze apart to change the footswitch out.
Worked like a charm.

Then, I took my Freeze apart to add a different graphic to it (bored).
This part did not work like a charm.

While removing the board, it seemed "stuck". SO. What's a guy to do?!
I kind of um... tugged. on. it. And in the process, realized why it was "stuck".
It wasn't stuck at all. The mode switch got all binded in the hole, because i was tugging on it... and... it...

Broke :picard:

The pedal still works, but it's stuck in the last setting and I can't switch to any others - not that I switch modes a lot... but it does come in handy from time to time.

Gah!
I'm such a goofball. I should've just left well enough alone. But anyway...
pretty sure I could solder in a new one, if I knew what part to buy.
Does anyone know where I can get a new switch?
Pretty please?
:hello:

how can we know what it is if you don't post pics? not everyone has seen the inside of a freeze. my guess is that it is a tact but you really should get the right size to match. also check if the pins on the tact switch are surface mount or do they go through the green board.

Yeah, show us a pic. If we can see the type of switch, we can recommend a replacement.
