Have just got a brand new hrd3 and it great. really enjoy the clean and driven channels.

My problem is that when im using the foot switch to switch down from driven to clean there is a slight lag making changes of this nature sound a bit clunky.

the change from clean to driven is instant.

Like i say i really like the sound of the driven channel and so would prefer to use that over an OD peddle if i can.

Can anyone let me know if i can get rid of this lag? or if its a fault?

Also the handle snapped on it last week too... not good. who do i talk to to get another sent out?!

many thanks

jim

Try to spray contact cleaner with lubricant in the switch . Where is the shaft maybe you can spray.

I'm doubtful that it's a switch issue. I'd look to the "B" side of relay K2 -- it may not be receiving sufficient control voltage to energize instantly.
