Broken part

[jclogston]

Hey, I hope someone out there can help me. I have a DOD fx-17 wah/volume pedal. It has two small adjustment knobs that are reached through the end of the pedal that control the pedal sweep and the range, I think. Anyway, one of them recently broke and I am wondering where I can try to locate a new adjustment knob. I tried the DOD website's customer service but I just get an error message when I try to send. Any help will be a help, you know?

What part broke, the knob itself, or what the knob was attached to?
And I'm going to see if I can find some pics of one of those, so we can get some idea of what might work for a replacement.

Thanks for responding. It is a small rheostat or pot or something that is soldered to the main circuit board. It has a dark blue plastic body with a white plastic dial in the center. The back panel is metal and it is fastened with three prongs through the board with two being on the front of the piece and one in the back center, all on the bottom. To adjust with it you use a small flat head screwdriver. It has ACP-Spain stamped on the front and there are numbers stamped on the top that read 50K91. That is pretty much all the info on it except that it is about 3/4 of an inch tall and a quarter inch deep. I hope that helps. I have no wah back up!!! Pray for me!!

Hey, I just found the ACP Spain homepage and a possible distributer here in the U.S. I will let you know how it pans out. Thanks.

Whew! Glad to hear you've got a lead there. It sounds like a 50K ohm pot, but beyond that . . .
Hope this story has a happy ending.
