I've got a question about this Digitech Whammy I found on Craigslist!

Here is a link to it

As you can see, the guy says that the pedal doesn't go back up all the way, so he put a spring under it to make it go back up.

I sent him an email and he said this

"It does still work fine but the spring does add a little tension to the movement of the pedal but it's still pretty easy to use. I'm not sure how well it will hold up to be honest the spring is just wedged under there and I put some masking tape on it. Although I have used it in my bedroom and it stayed in place. I think it would probably be ok for gigs as long as you aren't like kicking the pedal around or anything."

Does anyone know if there is a permanent fix for this problem (or what might exactly be wrong with it)?

I noticed a few days back that my Whammy, which I haven't used in forever, has the same issue.

I'll look into it tonight when I get home, see if I find a way to fix it.

Also, the spring for me is a no-dice. There's some settings that require the expression pedal to be all the way down. I'd imagine it can get a little annoying with the spring.

I'll give it one more bump I suppose

maybe ask Digitech directly?

I sent them an email, but I don't know how long it will be until they reply, if they do at all.

Other peoples opinions appreciated.
