Funny I actually ran into the exact same problem last week… Found out what my problem was though… I invested in a cheap ass foot switch from eBay, thus being said, poorly made… I ended up opening/unscrewing the foot switch jack and found that one of the solder points had deteriorated to the point where the main power supply cable fell off……[Read more]
