danneskjold Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello -- I'd like to preface my post by writing that I have been very happy with my Gibson Robot SG; it has opened up a lot of creativity and allowed me to explore a number of alternate tunings. I've had it for several years and it has been worth it despite the little annoyances that crop up from time to time (lesson 1: buy a patch cable for charging). My issue now is that the MCK doesn't seem to go into the knob (which is, as I understand it, the CPU) firmly. When I tighten the tiny hex nut, the MCK still manages to tilt (almost like a toggle switch) if it is bumped even slightly. This hasn't been an issue at home but I'm going to be playing out and taking the guitar in a soft gig bag and I fear that the MCK will fall off and I will have to sit there with a microscopic allen wrench reattaching it in a dimly lit area while everyone waits for me. Any advice? Is the CPU impossible to replace? Is the CPU even available (it appears to continually be out of stock)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarBuilder Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Before you decide to replace the CPU, I would suggest you figure out why the knob isn't fitting on the shaft correctly. Is it rotated out of position? Is the ribbon cable on the knob interfering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danneskjold Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 It looks like the screw simply doesn't sit in the dent or hole in the CPU knob (i.e. the metal knob) firmly. I do not want to have to try to replace it, but if I did, is this the correct part? http://store.tronical-components.com/powertune-1/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
