my drive nob that controls the mfx is fucked up

[.:WIZDUMB:.]

the nob on the top right of my sp is malfunctioning it shoots all the way down to 1 when i let go of it whenever i twist it upward. what do i do? is this fixable? has anyone had any similar problems? any help or suggestions are appreciated.

ouch... you need to 're-solder' the poti, prolly get a new one...
sounds more complicated than it is...


good luck!

[shabbster]

what kind of potis are required to do this?
think some of mine will drop dead soon, too.

[wax inspektor]

that`s a standard piece; sth. you should get in your radioshack easily...

[shabbster]

ah okay.
I am not living in the us, so no radio shack available but good to hear that they are standard so I can say to my gearman of choice he just have to put in some new potis without having him to hunt down original roland ones, right?

[wax inspektor]

yeah, no special roland potis...

Your gearman (sounds like an action hero) should have no probs with those...

[Rhua]

ah okay.

Oh man, I just read 'german' and wondered how the hell you could write it like that

Well, never mind

[shabbster]

because I am from germany...hahaha
building sentences in german is completely different compared to english.
so sorry for fucking up the grammar sometimes
