I recently purchased a second hand L-120 on ebay which is in good condition, works very well and I like it very much (no problems there)
It does appear to have some form of modification to it, by way of a hole drilled out of the bottom plate which allows the roddy thing with the stringy bit to poke through - maybe to somehow allow some extra sweep in the pedal
Seems to work well, as I say, no complaints here. I'm just wondering whether this is a common modification, or perhaps actually a factory feature of early L-120s? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I have two L-120 VPs. They both have this hole. I think it is a normal clearance hole.

| The hole mentioned is to allow for the string pedestal to protrude when in full down/on position in order to allow for the full rotation of the pot in the low profile models. The standard profile version does not need it due to its increased travel. The new pedal (aka "Omni" at this point) will not need it as the pot collar diameter is smaller and should be available sometime early next year. |
