I bought an MXR Carbon Copy about a week ago, and my first thought when I played it through my amp was that this pedal is too good to be true - fairly cheap and very, very good sounding.
Well last night it crapped out on me on a gig, when switched on there was no signal coming through it even though the on/off led worked properly. So it´s probably a bad switch.
Now, what I don´t understand is WHY oh WHY these pedal-making companies make such an effort in designing a fantastic pedal and then decide to ruin it with a cheap switch that lasts for a WEEK?! The switch even feels kindof loose, not a sturdy DPTD switch by any means. Shame on them.
Anyone else had a bad switch in their MXR pedals?
