The thing is, even if the knob is super-easy to replace (who's heard of super-easy-to-replace electronic components? ), if it fails because you stomped on it, it's probably going to fail at a gig. How super-easy will it be to stop the gig, reach for your bag of spare electronic parts (you have a bag like that, right? ) dismantle your pedal, and perform surgery on it?Maybe the knobs are super easy to replace. Could someone please take a look (and send pictures)?!
My mistake! I thought no battery was required thesedaysBut there is a battery in all Axe-FX since the Standard to the XL+

Can the handle be removed? I find it gets in the way from using the top level of footswitches.
first thing I did to my ultra way back when was take it apart.
Chris J, Maybe you could fasten some chapstick tubes to end of the footswitches 5-8 to help you avoid the rollbar! Or maybe the guy who makes the fancy magnetic labels could inject something for those that are having the same issue (please don't forget me on the patent!).
I don't know what's under there, but if it just screwed in you might be able to screw something shorter (a wood block or threaded piece of bar aluminum) and get closer. The bar is quite a bit above the knobs closest to it.Good idea, but I wonder if it would be a little awkward to press a foot switch button 3 inches off the base. I suspect the handle is screwed to the to and could be removed, just not sure if a PCB is in the way.
I was always taught that it is bad mojo to let the the magic smoke out of a circuit. It just won't work if you do. I fear removing the top may invite magic smoke loss. I'm keeping the good mojo locked inside.
opened my AmpliFire )
I will post them in Off Topics when I get home. Promised.Pictures please! Will be great to have comparisons abailable here for when I or someone else with an AX8 grow a pair! Ha.
Someone requested these pictures so here they are.
My guess is a loose screw. Open it up and
When ever I pick up my MFC, I can hear something moving around inside- sounds like a nut or small bolt or something-
is it safe to open up and take a peek? I hate that I hear it everytime...what do you say? I just don't want to take it apart and ruin it......
Please advise-
I did it.
