Hello!
But the volume pedal still doesn’t react.
Is the FC7 pedal broken?
Thanks for any idea...!!! |

Foot Controller 1 (FC1) in Utility Mode Controller Settings should be showing (11) Expression Controller. Is that what you are seeing? |

Glad you solved it! Replacing the cable is a relatively easy DIY fix. Use a standard TRS (stereo) 1/4” Phone Jack cable, and match the internal pedal wiring of the original. |

It is simple, but does require basic soldering within the pedal. I would buy a TRS cable of the length you desire, and cut off one of the end jacks. Identify (on the original cable) which of the three leads goes to each jack contact...tip, ring, and sleeve...and where each goes internally to the pedal. This soldering job is not precision, it is very basic mid-20th century! The hardest part, really, is to get the big physical pieces of the pedal back together correctly. You will find it extremely helpful to snap some pictures on your phone as you disassemble, to aid in reassembly. You may...or may not...find the attached Manual useful. It is the total documentation that comes with the pedal. File Attachments
