Mailist to discuss all issues regarding the Digitech GSP-2101 Guitar FX Processor

My other guitarist had 2 & 3 go out on the Control one.  I did a temp 
repair by removing the plastic footswitch actuaters by pressing the 
front of the pedal gently with my thumbs and lifting up.  Gently 
because there are tabs that hold it in place which can break if 
forced.  Replacements are like $0.64 each from digitech.  There is a 
little plastic pin that presses the switch.  Looking closley you'll 
probably find a wear mark on the switch where the pins hits plus some 
wear on the pin.  I reparied it buy cutting electrical tape into 
small squares around the size of the black button on the switch. I 
used 3 layers - 4 was one too many.  A quick test is too press the 
switch with you finger to see if it switches.  If not dirt may of 
collected inside if for instance the switch went out and sat unused 
for months.  No problem keep pressing the switch 20 times or so and 
it will probably self clean.  If not you will need a new one.  

Just an oddity.  I have the original 96 GSP2101FC on my rig and none 
of the switchs have a problem.
