need help with a guitar footswitch

[Sinister]

I dropped my Digitech DeathMetal footswitch and the low-frequency EQ knob broke off (but I'm not sure if it's really broken or only dislodged from the socket). Does anyone know of something I could do to make sure it stays put ?

If the rod that the knob rests on consists of 2 small pieces that have a space in between them, make the space a little farther apart to keep it in place. I had to do that with the volume knob on my guitar.

it's more like a sort of smaller knob with a hole in the middle and a part lower than the rest that aligns with the position-indicator line on the knob.


edit : I'll try and take a picture.
re-edit: fuck, no camera.

Super glue?

Super glue?

If that went wrong, you wouldn't be able to move the knob.

Only if you glued it to the pedal housing rather than the metal knob bit.

Well surely gluing it to the metal knob bit would be considered doing it wrong :p .

Upon further investigation I'm pretty sure the knob itself is broken. Two questions now - Is knob replacement possible? (otherwise I'd have to buy a new footswitch); how should I go about warranty and such considering I bought it during a trip in the US, but live in Canada ?

Only if you don't know how a pedal is put together, which it appears you don't.

What make is it, Sinister? I'd say try going to the company website.

(as mentioned in the first post) it's a Digitech.

Stop playing death metal. Problem solved.

I don't play death metal; Furthermore, I have nothing to do with Digitech's decision of naming their most powerful distortion footswitch "Death Metal". I bought it for the sound, not for the name.
