I wouldn't worry about it; I'm sure you'll hear from him by tomorrow as its getting late over on the other side of the pond. The Captain doesn't spend much time online; only a few minutes a day at best, but he'll get back to you for sure soon as he sees your PM, I'm betting.

Cool! That's what I figured.

Cali,

The OC81d's are really tempermental with heat. Glad that is what the big problem was.

I remember one time I tried to play this new tune I came up with to some bandmates, when my MKII was over-heated. Needless to say the song was one huge car crash.

Anyways, like Paul said. I can solder you a new jack in no time. I haven't braved making any pedals like the Captain here, but I have inhaled years of lead making patchbays (jackfields for those of you on the other side of the pond) for recording studios.

I'm not sure which brand switch the Captain uses, but I imagine the standard ones from Mouser are the one's to get. You can spend more on a fulltone one, but I have heard that they don't last actually as well.

Trouble is, I'm leaving for Chicago for one week tomorrow. But if you like, we can take care of it when I get back. Call Electronics Plus in San Rafael. They'll probably have when you need.

Best,

Alex

Thanks a million Guys! I'm gonna wait to hear from the Captain first just to make sure it is on fact switch problem. It seems very logical that it is but I'll wait to get his word.

Plus we all know how weird people can be with re-sale if it has been repaired by someone other than the original maker. At $1,200 I have to consider that. I have come this far so sending it over the pond is no big deal. Ya know what I mean? It sucks but that's the way it is.


Thanks again!

I would do likewise. Hope it works out that Dave can fix it for you.

Well best of luck with it Chris.
Just seems like a tedious task for the Cap'n, busy as he is.

He actually recommended that I send it in for a service. It might be more than just the switch. A

This is one of the reasons Dave Main is the best pedal maker out there. He takes care of his creations.

I 100% agree!

If I remember right, my MKII clips are of an OC81D MKII exactly the same internally as cali68's with the mustard etc...
