Check if the knife edge on the plate underneath has rough edges. I saw a video where some had the same problem with their Squier classic vibe 70s. They dismantled it and sanded the edges flat and it stopped the clacking.

_Need help with Super Switcher_ *I can't figure out how to switch the ORDER of pedals when setting up presets. Seems like it can only possibly run them in the order they're set up in on the back of the unit. Am I wrong?
@Livlos4 ай бұрын
As far as I;m aware, the order can;t be changed. It goes by the bank order. AKA... you can;t have 1 patch that used the pedal in bank 1 first followed by bank 2.. and another patch that has the pedal in bank 2 first followed by pedal in bank 1. If you need that, I;d suggest you look into the Boss version I seem to recall it would allow you to do that kinda stuff

Question: EHX states in the product description that the Super Switcher can handle a pedal setup which uses an amp’s effects loop. I’ve read the owners manual and watched several instructional videos however, I still don’t understand how to tell the Super Switcher which pedals are and are not supposed to go into the amp’s effects loop. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Livlos, thanks for the quick reply and please accept my apologies for only watching the first half of your video before posting the question. But as you noted, not even the owner’s manual addresses amp effect loops, so I was losing hope and was going to starting researching other programmable switchers. And that’s a very clever trick on how to hook it up to function as either 5 in the loop, or 3. An elegant solution most would not have figured out. You have saved me tonnes of time and aggravation. Thanks a million!

Your set up guidance is excellent, but your reasons are wrong. This trem is set up with the lock so if you break a string, you pull the trem arm down, engage the lock and the guitar returns in tune, so you can finish the song. It's a brilliant piece of design that fully caters to a professional musician.

@paulopinheiro8126 Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! I've successfully set up my tremolo system on my jaguar and along the way also found that my lock piece has a defect which is a pain, but I can live with it. Even with the spring piece completely disassemble and removed from the tail piece plate, the lock piece sometimes gets stuck in it's own edges cavity, it can happen when sliding to both lock and unlocked positions. When analysing the lock piece I realised that between it's top exterior part and the tail piece plate sits a double wave spring coil washer*, this washer is what causes the problem, the washer is somehow deformed and sometimes gets stuck stopping the lock from sliding. I thought about somehow disassembling the lock from the tremolo plate and replacing the defective washer. I found I am unable to disassemble the lock because it's bottom part (nut), the one that sits under the tail piece plate, has the bottom end of a screw inside it, no cavity for a screwdriver to fit in it and unscrew it from this end, looks to me like the head of the screw is the lock button itself, I realized no tool can unscrew the lock piece, it seems Fender wants it to be this way, I read somewhere Fender apllies a Loctite type compound on the screw threads, so it's no easy task. I did try to unscrew it somehow though, as both top and bottom (nut) of the lock piece are round, I tried holding both ends with pliers, used cloth in between not to scratch the lock, I know that doesn't help with getting a good grip, but I don't wanna scratch the parts, apllied a good amount of strength, but with very little grip it didn't unscrew at all. I found a workaround for the problem, when the washer gets stuck I spin the button with my fingers and eventually it's released and I can slide the lock button, until the next time it happens... It's difficult to jam your fingers between the strings and spin the button, but buying a new tremolo system to replace this defective one costs me about 109€, best retail price in Europe, I don't slide the lock button so often to spend this amount of money, so I'll continue spinning the button until the day I die! 🤣 *some older lock piece models seem to use a simple white colour, maybe plastic, washer between the lock piece nut and the tremolo plate, other models seem to have no washer at all.

The above described one of the issues I had with a new mexican fender kc jaguar guitar, a few days later I had more issues and ended up returning it.

Here's a question. I have an Am Pro 2, and when the vibrato tops out, it makes the click noise, when the 2 plates meet, I reckon. I have the vibrato lock engaged, and have it so I can dive bomb from E down to about A. Another video uses gaffer or duct tape in between the 2 plates to dampen the metal contact noise, but others say it's a matter of adjusting the vibrato tension screw. If it's down to how tight or loose the tension screw is, how much so, so that the 2 plates don't meet so forcefully, to make that noise?

(Sorry,is long) My plans for the future: Amp+Cabinet: Mesa JP2C (or any Mark series) with 1x12 mesa cabinet Now pedals (outside pedalboard/controlling manually): Two G1Xon,one for tuner and control the amount of input gain and the other to Whammy (down),Octave,Phaser,Swell,Eq,etc.... 1 Whammy 1 Wah In pedalboard and controlled by a switcher Drop Digitech Acoustic Sim Noise Supressor Tube Screamer Distortion And a Valeton GP200 outside pedalboard,but being controlled and in the FX Loop of the amp,just for the 5 Band Graph EQ,Compressor,Pitch Shiter (Kind of 12 strings sim),Chorus,Delay,Reverb So the signal goes: Guitar > 2 G1Xon > Whammy > Wah > *Input of the switcher* > pedalboard with all pedals in the switcher > JP2C with the channels controlled as well > Valeton in FX Loop > Cabinet The patches: Clean Channel: Acoustic > Valeton (EQ,Comp,Pitch,Chorus,Delay,Reverb) Clean Channel: Distortion > Valeton (EQ,Comp,Delay,Reverb) Crunch Channel: Noise Supressor > Tube Screamer > Valeton (Comp) Lead Channel: Noise Sup. > Tube Screamer > Valeton (Comp,Delay,Reverb) My problem is... I want a switcher that will be able to control all 3 channels,my pedals and the Valeton, with at least 8 banks so I can use the Drop in 2-8 banks, here in Brazil we have a switcher like this,with banks,four switchers for each bank,but there's no much info about it,idk how powerfull it is,if can control more than two channels,the valeton,etc.... so,can this switcher do these things?
