Mode selector switch on a Boss DD6 effects delay peadal. Looks just like
the
other 3 green case subminiature pots each marked B50K , by Alpha. Nothing
external to indicate the 7 posistion "switch" is different. Inside a
second
properly molded-in internal endstop as well as the normal one, so track is
limited to 3/5 of normal full track.
So if wiper breaks, due to grease, then pedal has a mind of its own which
mode it wants to be in. When cleaned out measures 0, 3k, 8.1k, 13.4,19k,
25k,30.6K in the 7 positions and over full track 48.6K.
