MCK Problem

[runtothehills]

Hi All,

 

Got a problem with my MCK in that it wont switch off when I push it back down i.e. it stays in tune/setup mode not matter if the MCK is pulled up or push down and therefore won't regain the signal back to the amp, ffs.

 

Anyone seen or fixed this problem before? Or am I up for a replacement Tronical switch unit (I see they're availble on guitarsushi.com)...

 

Cheers,

Do you hear a distinct "clicking" of the switch indicating that it is being engaged? If so, you may indeed have a bad switch unit. If not, maybe the MCK knob is loose?

I had a green flashing peghead on the MCK after charging all day as it did not shut off automatically after reaching 9 out of 10 level. So I opened the back cover on my Robot 1, disconnected the battery and reconnected it after 5 minutes. The bad MCK issue aside, it reset the tuner to factory default, and then I just pulled out the MCK and whacked it back in with the palm of my hand. It shut off! Now it works to autotune but I just whack it back in after spinning it to #b setting. Works like a charm. No need to spend $395 at guitarsushi.com to replace the whole tuning control and MCK.

 

I own Robot 1 since Dec 9, 2007 two days after it released. She's a beauty and I will keep it all original if it means whacking the MCK to shut it off.
