A little over a year ago I came here with no electronics, soldering, DIY knowledge or anything...
Since then I have built many PSUs, home etched my own PCBs, made a Calrec EQ

I just want to say thanks guys and gals.. for something happened at teh weekend which caused me to think about this place.

Cos I am in my new house I started putting my studio back together again

My Pod Pro had a little accident a few years ago - the three way toggle switch snapped of the front panel and I cannot get any sound out of the Processed guitar out (I only got it out of the Un Processed guitar out)
I never use the reamping facility so having an unprocessed line out was a bummer...

So... my first thoughts after spending some time here.. DIY fix the sod...

Rather than throwing the thing on the skip...
I opened up the top...
Noticed that the switch was on a little PCB.. It has a small toggle switch
So I ripped of the toggle switch cover, took the toggle switch to pieces... sussed out what was happening inside the toggle switch
I didn;t have a spare toggle of on - off - on but I only ever use it in Processed mode...
Got my soldering iron out and permantly connected the "wiper" of the toggle to the right hand side
Switched on...
Hey Presto - the f***g thing works....

A tear to my eye and many thanks to y'all....
