    yikes I’m having trouble w my favorite pedal, the SMMH.

    I have gigged this thing for 2 1/2 yrs w no problems whatsoever, but…

    The pedal lives on a pedalboard and is using its supplied power supply, also I don’t wears shoes onstage so the pedal has had a pretty easy life.

    Heres the prob: every once in a while, regardless of mode setting, the pedal has trouble activating.
    Visually the bypass led flickers for about a second, then stays on, w a terrible setting that has nothing to do w the current setting OR preset.

    Aurally, when the led is stuck on, I can turn the unit on and off, the led stays lit but the pedal acts like a true bypass pedal w no battery. bypass then silence.

    anyone had a similar experience? Intuition leads me towards a possible fault bypass switch?

    This pedal has become integral to my parts in 2 different bands. I hope I can get this rectified.

    The problem is intermittent, and usually cured buy unplugging its power supply and reconnecting.

    Thanks for reading this, hope it was somewhat clear and succinct.

    For me the switch gets corroded after time and it gets sporadic.
    Thats just the nature of switches.
    I clean my switch with deoxit contact spray.
    Opening the back and just spraying the back of the switch.
    It makes it way in the switch and it is good to go after a few switches.
    The cleaner is great for scratchy controls and dirty jacks on all you gear.

    If that fails contact Chip at info@ehx.com for factory repair.
    Good luck.

    I have identical problems with this pedal also.

    Have you solved this behaviour? New switch?

    I’m also having this problem, but I’m struggling to work out what you mean by oiling the ‘switch’. Which one?

    I’m using a Mooer Daisy Chain power supply.

    Thanks!
