EBS Multicomp - Problem

Sign in to disble this ad
I got this pedal a couple weeks ago, worked great up until today. I plug it in and it works, but the stomp switch doesn't work. So in other words the unit is permanantly on because you can't press the switch in. So what do you guys think, return it for another unit, or try to fix it?

Wulp that settles it, its going back. Its a shame though, I liked the pedal. Too bad the fact that something this simple doesn't work makes me never want to buy EBS again.

I've had the MultiComp for over a year with no problems. Might just be a fluke. Either EBS or the store should give you new one.

Actually, I read bongomania's review on this compressor and he cited that EBS pedals typically don't have long life spans. They must have QC issues. I'm not going to buy a multicomp anytime soon.
