Critical CX 2R?

[OwlsDen]

I used to run the basic 10 turn Eikon had that thing for years. But after a few years I felt it got soft. Like it wasn't putting out the same power. So I went back to old faithful and bought a national edge ps. I love that ps I've had it about two years and still running strong but I think someone at the old shop I worked at must have used my station and knocked it off the counter cause one day the knob was all bent to one side and loose. Ever since its been a pain to adjust on the fly so

National sells replacement rheostats. I don't know if the one in the edge is easily replaceable.. It's a good PS from my memory. I am sure someone would take it off your hands, or at least someone handy.

Oh thanks for the heads up OwlsDen, I'll have to give National a call and get one of those replacement rheostats after I get the Critical. Though I don't know if ill sell it. Its a great piece of equipment and it's always good to have a backup but we will see.

I will take my critical over anything

I love my critical and I love the wireless footswitch...one less wire in my station is one less headache. Two Thumbs way up!!!

Hey guys, got my new CX2-r with wireless footswitch yesterday. Hooked it up and worked great. but today when I came in and set up for my apt of course now the foot switch wasn't working. I tried to re sync it by following the directions but nothing happens. when I put in in sync mode it just says searching.... and doesn't do anything. hooked up a clippy and it worked fine wired. By time I was done with my apt it was after 5 so of course critical is now closed and cant call for tech support. any ideas?

Check to make sure the battery hasn't come loose.

[SKreitlow]

The light on the foot switch blinks when steped on so don't think it's the bat. Unless its a bunk battery and just has enough juice to flash the light but not send the signal.

If the lights going on - its probably the synch. I had the same issue, I jsut re did the synch and it was fine.

Yeah I saw that vid on YouTube. Mine doesn't have a sync button with a light like that. Wish it did. the one i have you go into the menu and there is a sync tab then you select a Chanel and supposedly just tap the pedal. That's how it worked yesterday's the first time I did it. But today when I put it in sync mode it just continually said searching. And that was it. So eather the pedal isn't sending or the built in reciever isn't recieving.

I was told it can take up to 5 times.

heres the reply i got
Did you go through the syncing/rebinding process (up to 5-7 times)? Sometimes it takes a few to find a really clean channel (which may be causing this issue). Here is the sync process:
1. Press the sync button (receiver button) until receiver LED starts blinking.
2. Release sync button & then press pedal once

Please try this a few times and see if this helps & get back to me either way, if you would, so we can get your pedal running perfectly!

She also sent me the manual if you need it
