A TubeFex issue...

Post by Kjell Ohlsson »

The Post Gain knob on my TF doesn´t work like it used to. I can´t feel the start position or the stop position.
I can wind the knob around and around as many laps as I want. I haven´t tried it but I assume I can. The red lights though is giving me a hint of when I´m at the top position.
Is this a serious matter and should be fixed or is it possible for me to live with it.
Regardless of this my TF works fine.
If you have any idea, please let me know.

If it was me I'd use it like it is if it works well otherwise.
Just go by your ears on the setting.

I haven't used my tubefex in quite sometime but I don't think there are stops on the tubefex knobs. they are not regular potentiometers.I think they are actually encoders.If the led's are moving when you turn the knob, its probably working.

There are no stops. It is actually called an encoder switch.
