Is the pedal supposed to have a spring in it? Mine doesn't, and you can just push it down and it stays there.

The pedal is not spring loaded. The reasons are that by staying static, the pedal won't change the volume, wha-setting, or tone setting on its own while you are playing. The pedal action, however, can be programmed to alter either up or down. I've had several other wah and volume pedals and none of them were spring-loaded as well.

The effects pedal does NOT have a spring in it. That allows you to set variables (freq,, repeats, speeds) for the different voicings and effects. It is how it should be. You wouldn't want to be performing and have to concentrate on continually resetting your effects pedal.

Glad to be of help; good luck with your guitar. You have chosen a good pedal.

yeah its supposed to stay there, its your volume, so when its all the way down, the volume is all the way up

Yep, the bike must be in motion with the pedals moving. This is pretty much true of all drailleur systems. Enjoy! I still have mine and though I've had to make small adjustments, it still rides great.

You have to manually push it down. But I assume you have already tried that and it didn't work.

I replaced the original pedals with my own clip-in pedals, so I haven't had that issue. But the likely reason is that the bearings in the original pedals are of very poor quality, so instead of the pedal spinning as smoothly as it should, it is instead spinning the part that screws into the crank arm. The solution is to either buy a better set of pedals, or go to your local hardware store and buy some thread lock compound, which is a kind of non-permanent glue that you can put on screws and threads to prevent them from coming loose. Good luck.

It is on side panel, I believe the right side panel where foot pedal is. Also make sure power button is off. FYI: I hope you have better luck with yours than I did with mine. I wrote a not so nice review. Mine lasted barely 3 months.

Under the pedal, literally.. push in the 2 small round hinges, one on each side of the pedal piece. Also, check youtube, many videos addressing this issue. Great pedal, bad battery-placement design.

Mine works fine...but I just leave it on high and shift the bike from gear to gear. Sorry I have no solution other than that.

I noticed my plug to the pedal was to long but it works. So not sure what your question is.

Just push down and a little forward on the "V" shaped section which has little indention (looks like a small dot) on top of the device where the spring is located. It takes a bit to get the hang of it.

I know this is a very old message, but apparently this is a common issue with this machine...You press the foot pedal and first it just make some noise, then the machine starts at maximum speed... Well, I've discovered that if before pressing the pedal you lower the needle (by rotating the wheel towards you) until it's in a low position (either near the fabrick, or sticking a bit into it), then the machine will start, slowly, if you press the pedal slightly...You won't need to press a lot, and it will be easier to control speed. I hope this will be useful to people having this problem with this machine...

I also need help with the stripped pedal. It has fallen off. I need to get this fixed soon. I use the bike every day.

Mine pedals backwards also. Were you able to get in contact with customer service to resolve?

Only problem I had was solved when I realized if I had my weight on the down pedal I wouldn't be able to push down the upper pedal-too much weight to overcome. Had to shift my weight to the up-pedal side before I could successfully pedal it. If it's really, physically stuck, check for what parts are blocking movement and review your assembly, in case something didn't get installed in the correct place.

what you are suppose to do is continuously pump the pedal it will spin as long as you push it you dont just push it then stop you keep pushing it and it will continue to spin

Mine doesn't do that at all! I can press it and leave it without holding it. Sounds like something is wrong with your motor I would send it back!

It will act like a whammy up or you can make it like a whammy down, but not both ways that I can tell, I only use as a sbend low pitch using the pedal.
