    Measuring at the switch with the pedal in the off position you should have infinite resistance. When it’s on you’ll have 0 ohms.

    yea i thought it should be infinite too but somehow it was 0.

    do you think that something really is wrong with footswitch? i mean, i tested it and it seemed fine. or would it work if i put in a 4 part switch instead of the 3 part one?

    I don’t understand what’s going on there. The wiring in the pic looks OK, you said the switch tests OK.
    Another possibility is a solder short on the switch between the lugs where the wire connects from the Volume pot and the wire from the output jack (the green and the yellow wires in your pic). That would cause the symptoms you describe. Take a look there and see if you can find any excess solder.

    W/ the pedal in the off position, take a meter and measure resistance between those 2 points. With the pedal off, it should be infinite resistance.

    i measured that and it was 0 ohms but im not sure if i measured it 100 percent correctly. also measured btw. input and output, and that was 2 megaohms. what should it normally be?

    the soldering points where fine.

    It’s a 3PDT footswitch. If the pedal’s new EH will fix it under warranty.

    i bought it last winter in the usa but i moved to germany and didn’t send in the warranty card in the 10 days. is there still a way to send it somewhere?

    also, i tested the switch and it seems fine. it seems to be the electronics-were there other similar cases and if yes, how can you fix it?

    It looks wired correctly in the pic. I’d have to guess a bad switch.

    could you please tell my what type of switch it is so that i can replace it?

    Sounds like it’s not wired correctly. Could you post some gut shots?

    here’s a link to the pic of the pedal opened up
