Re: hi hat pedal full control

2000-02-24 by Richard C. MacDonald

Hi Ken,
I checked out your fix attempts to achieve variable open/closed control. I'm
afraid I can't help you out at all as once I unscrew the back off of
something electronic, bad things start to happen. Changing batteries is
about all I'm good for.

In any case, thanks much for the impressive effort and I really hope you
figure out an easy way to improve the pedal. Anyone out there with
electric/electronic hardware skills, check out Ken's site and give him a
hand.

Great work,
Rick
