Digitech tactile switches?

suspiciousminds

I’ve just picked up an old digitech pds 2020 multiplay.
The “repeat/hold” led comes on intermittantly but there’s nothing happening with the “Bypass” mode so firstly i suspect both tactile switches are knackered which seems to be a common issue.
I was looking at 12mm x 12mm, 4mm high - anybody know if that size sounds about right?
i Havent as yet dismantled it.

I have quite a few Digitech/DOD pedals from the PDS series. I seem to remember having a similar issues that was solved by taking the pedal apart and using some switch cleaner. Give that a go first, if you are planning on opening it up anyway. Good luck! Great pedal.

Did switch cleaner get it working or did you have to replace the switch?

Just searched the forum for ‘PDS’ and this came up, curious if you got it sorted.
