Grizzly Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 anyone had problems with snapping the crossfader on these things? it is only a couple millimeters thick and i snapped it straight off after only two weeks of use. Can't get a response from allen and heath or from djdeals.com. Anyone else had issues with either of these companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Never had an issue myself The OG had an ALPHA railglideThe updated version had a P>he current model has a pro-X Which do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 p&g, but i bought it earlier this month. Maybe the pro-x models haven't made it to the states yet. did yours have the Alpha? The new ones are made in china Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 i heard back from allen and heath. They said there was a bad batch where there were some "v-shaped indentations" on the stem and was a known weakness but was corrected by p&g. Sounds like bs to me, but who knows. I very politely asked them to send me an "alternate" crossfader with a thicker stem. Hopefully they send me a pro x . Allready got one but it went bad after only a week or two and the dude Siya at EB doesn't seem to be of any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polocorp Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Did they sort you out finally ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 hell yeah! first they said they would be glad to come pick up the mixer, replace the CF, and send it back. I replied with my shipping address and they wrote back saying they would just send a brand new p&g which arrived promptly in the mail no more than a week later. They were very pleasant to deal with i must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2k Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 p&g faders are nice but when I had one I got through countless fader stems because the kept snapping...it might be worth getting a few extra stems, the cost about £15 and Gizmo recently found a place you can buy them and posted the address on SkratchWorks so check there. Since then I've had a pro x and had no complaints there, its bootiful...pity you got a duff one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
props to the finger Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) can you post up a picture of the stem on the fader you recieved? did you get a new faderknob aswell?

Grizzly Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 the stem looks pretty much the same except for at the base of it there isn't a little notch in it like on the last one. The fader knob is new and i like it much more than the old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
