sho bud volume pedal

Post by Bart Hanchey »

I have a broken string on my Sho-Bud volume pedal. Any suggestions on where to find a replacement string, or any substitutions?
Thanks, Bart

If you have an old broken mini-blind the string on it would work great. I save string from any blind we are discarding. It is actually woven and not merely twisted like most masonry string. I stick a lighted match to the ends briefly to melt the ends so it can't unravel.

I use string from my fly casting reel line on my old shobud pedal. It works great...

Bart, if you don't have any blind cord, let me know and I will send you a new replacement string. n/c

Thank you for the great advise Gentlemen. I should be able to round up a piece of string from a blind.
