I have a Pro-1, and after playing for 20 or 30 minutes, I have to re-tune my a and b pedals. This cant be normal. Is there something I can do to fix this problem  |

Two stupid questions:
How old are your strings?
check pull rods and changer for binding.
You're right, it ain't normal. If wanted to spend that much time tuning, I'd get a Strat. |

| Lane, the strings are 2 weeks old, fully stretched. The guitar itself stays in tune great, its only when using the pedals, the pedals have to be retuned... |

| it may be as simple as loose nylon tuners at the changer. do they turn easily or a little stiff? a little stiff is better so they don't wander. |

| if the hole goes all the way through you can try turning them around and threading them back on. otherwise, hopefully someone else has a simple idea. |

They are really inexpensive. Most steel shops sell them. Click on "links" at the top of the page and go to the vendors link.
I have actually used a little teflon tape on the threads and re-used the loose nylon nut. But, it's best to just replace them.
A thought. Does your Pro 1 actually have nylon tuners? I know that later ones had the Super Pro undercarriage with nylon nuts, but I think the early ones had the 2 hole pullers with barrels. This would be a different problem and solution.

Then I would just order some and replace them. I carry spares in my pak-a-seat.
