Help with an XLR?

[ZombieSpacebat]

Hey guys, hopefully this is the right section for this.

I have a Hartke Bass Attack pedal and the ground lift switch broke off, but I've fixed it, unfortunately I need to open the housing to re-atatch it but the xlr on the side is preventing me from doing this. Any advice on how to take it out would be much appreciated.

This is what the side looks like. Taking out the screws by the xlr didn't help.

My guess, (from the pic) is that you need to remove the side screws, take the silver nut off the 1/4 inch Line Output jack and remove the 2 screws from the XLR jack. I'd expect the side panel to pull of then leaving the jacks / switches attached to the board to which they are soldered.

I'd taken everything off that would come off, turns out it was the enclosure shape that was the problem, the wires connecting the footswitches to the main bit were tangled around some caps.

If you can't untangle them, then you can remove the footswitches by unscrewing their nuts and pushing them into the enclosure.
