How do I remove the GCPs Rubber Feet?

Post by simspace »

Hi, I need to velcro my GCP to my pedalboard.

I've tried unscrewing the rubber feet, but the screws just keep turning. They don't come out.

Can someone please tell me how to remove the GCPs rubber feet?

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, I had to remove the top to access some nuts that are located on the inside of the chassis.

Thanks for the reply!

I removed the bottom screws, but it seem the top and bottom are some how locked together almost like I have to pull something apart. But I can't figure out how. I was afraid to use brute force. That does not seem like a smart idea.

Any ideas how to separate the top and bottom?

Thanks,

You must also remove the four 5/64 Hex head screws from the top of the Ground Control Pro in addition to the six #2 Philips head screws on the bottom in order to access the Nylon Stop nuts that are preventing you from removing the feet.

Thanks John,

I thought that might be the case (no pun intended), but I wanted to make sure.

Anything I need to be aware of about the internals when opening it up? Or is it pretty straight forward?

It should be fairly straight forward. There is nothing that will jump out of the chassis when you open it up unless you got one of the ones I put a magic shop trick snake into. :twisted:

SPROING! AHHHHH!
