Thanks.� I opted to send it out for service.� After taking it apart, I found that pressing the switches with my finger still didn't trigger the effect.� It's my original pedal from 95 and has been in my basement and moved around a lot from one garage band to the next.� Probably worth having it properly serviced.

because there are tabs that hold it in place which can break if

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

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.
