I bought an FC3 pedal when I bought my MOXF8.
It stopped working after just a few months (started working in reverse).
I had gigs to play so I just bought another one.

I still would like to have a spare.  And also I’m not okay with the disposable nature of products these days.  The FC3 is fairly expensive as far as sustain pedals go.

I put my multimeter on the terminals of the pot and measured resistance.
Here’s what I got:

Black - red wires:
Pedal up - 9.3 KOhms
Pedal down - same

Black - White wires:
Pedal up - 12 kOhms
Pedal all the way down - 2 kOhms, and ranging everything in between from fully down to fully up.

Red - White wires:
Pedal up - 2 kOhms
Pedal down - 10 kOhms, and ranging everything in between from fully down to fully up.

I also verified all of these values measuring across the tip/rings of the cable jack to rule out a failed cable.

Has anyone repaired one of these?
