Pedal repair shop?

I think you'd have better luck asking someone here. Maybe. Do you know of a music shop near you that's not a Guitar Center or the like?? They may have a good tech that could look at it for you. There are a lot of builders here who may be able to help too. have you thought about contacting Sanford and Sonny? It's an original Blue Beard?

Pots are simple to repair man. Do you have any type of soldering skills? A pot costs under a dollar depending on the type and you can just put it in that sucker, solder it and call it a day. You could even do it paint by numbers and go wire to wire from one pot to the next. I doubt these are board mounted, so it'd be really easy.

If you know for sure the pot is bad, you can replace it yourself. Learning to solder is not that hard to do.
Also, if the pot is mounted to the board it may be a little tricky, and you'll need the exact same pot, or you can wire up a micro pot if your pedal box has enough room for it to fit.
