This has been brought up in older post, I'm not sure if spraying the switch from the outside will cure the switch, but I have heard many have opened up the SE and fixed the switch, I thing some have even changed it to fix it but can't confirm it.

Keith, If your unit is out

Keith,

If your unit is out of warranty:

Open the unit (all the small screws on the bottom minus the group of 2 and don't forget the single screw next to the right exp pedal).

Locate the the board with the switches and free it from the chasis without ripping off attached wiring (5 or 6 screws).

Carefully turn board and manually check each switch while unit is powered (be careful not to touch the board with any surface or other board during this process).

If board switch does not work...you need a new one. I suspect it is fine...they either work or don't.

If the switches on the board work fine, your problem is the contact spring attached to the stomp switch not making a secure contact (back spring carefully counter clockwise to extend its contact length).

Power down unit and put it back together...should be fine.

Be not afraid of saving money...if your nervous...take it to a shop.

Good luck!

Chico
