Digitech XP Foot Rubber Bumper Feet Repair Kit For The Digitech XP-100 Whammy Wah, XP-200 Modulator, XP-300 Space Station and XP-400 Reverberator
If you are the proud owner of a XP-100 Whammy Wah, XP-200 Modulator, XP-300 Space Station (lucky you!) or XP-400 Reverberator that is experiencing glitchy issues when using the onboard expression pedal, this handy rubber bumper kit will get your prized XP up-and-running and back to rocking like a hurricane! Yep, no more metal on metal action when in the toe or heel position. The rubber bumpers below the treadle are crucial for the protection of the internal LED optics and the proper calibration of the XP's toe and heel positions for the various effect parameters.
This auction includes the following:
- (12) High Quality Rubber Bumpers
The four XP's rubber bumpers found underneath the expression pedal are unassuming parts that actually provide protection for the LED optical system that acts as a potentiometer for the toe/heel motion of the expression pedal. These bumpers occasionally fall of, become brittle, or are sliced in half from heavy use. Others have been removed by users who like the extra throw, or travel, of the pedal, without knowing they could be damaging the internal optics. We’ve seen our fair share of shattered LEDs and its not pretty - don’t be that guy or gal. Leave the rubber bumpers alone, they are your friends.
These bumpers match the exact hardness, or durometer, of the stock Digitech bumpers and provide a nice solid feel when you are in the toe and heel positions. Many people replace these with your standard, and very squishy, run-of-the-mill hardware store bumpers. These softer bumpers are usually reserved for kitchen cabinets and don't allow for perfect calibration because the toe and heel never quite reach exact 0% at the heel position and 100% at toe position. This leads to various presets acting glitchy in the minimum and maximum positions. These twelve bumpers will allow you to replace your existing four expression pedal bumpers, the four found on the bottom plate, and have a spare set for the future.
The bumpers will come to you in a small handy zip-locking plastic bag. Once you have replaced the old bumpers, we recommend placing the spare bumpers in the bag and taping them, with heavy-duty packing tape, to the inside of your XP for handy access when you've worn out the old ones from too much rock action.
We'll include a one sheet instruction guide to aid in your noble quest.
If you are experiencing intermittent issues with your foot switches not switching all the time or you are having to press them harder than normal to change patches or bypass the unit, we also offer a switch and bumper repair kit. Please check our other auctions for that, along with our mail in repair service for the less technically inclined.
