I am finding the screens on the footswitch hard to see as the contrast is set too low from the factory. Is there a way of changing the contrast? If not, could the contrast be adjusted on the next footswitch update?
Cheers,
Tim

can I also get the contrast mod?

I’ve sent you a message with the info.
Is this still the official way to change the contrast on a footswitch? I recently got one but the screens are barely readble compared to the mod duo displays.
I tried the hardware fix but alas, to no avail. The contrast is still very low, barely readable… I did make contact regarding possibility of firmware update but haven’t heard anything since a brief reply.
cheers
I’d be happy to recieve the info aswell.
I already turned down the brightness of the MOD, adding a bit more brightness to the footswitch would match them up pretty good.
Thank you!

Hmm, that’s a shame…The only reason to use a control chain footswitch over a midi pedal was the display.
I just posted about this in the “Bugs” forum. Sorry, didn’t see this thread.
What’s the solution? ModDevices is having a sale which includes the footswitch. Has this been resolved in current units?
Does anyone know if the new expression pedal uses the same LCD screen as the footswitch?

All the MOD footswitches have the same contrast. There is no difference if the footswitch is bundled with a Duo or not.
The expression pedal is under development. For updates please watch the MOD website.

Does anybody have an update or workaround for this?
I’m kind of used to the fact that I can’t use the screens on my footswitch, but it’s a bit of a shame.
Here’s a view of my pedal board for reference:
As you can see, the main mod display is perfectly readable (brightness at 50%), but footswitch display is virtually impossible to read.
It’s made worse by the viewing angle on the displays - they are best viewed from beneath, and the contrast drops to zero quite fast when viewed from above. Unfortunately when this is mounted on a board in a live situation, I am almost always looking from that kind of angle, unless I step back from the board.
Perhaps there’s something wrong with my footswitch? Or is this how it is for everyone?

Mine looks the same.
@dwek I’d also like to try this hardware fix that was mentioned earlier.

Please, can you provide some advice? I have the contrast problem with my footswitch left display ver. 0.4.1. I just couldn’t get how to fix it. Thanx!

Yeah, same problem here with the left display of the footswitch. Even after the latest update to 0.4.1. I have no idea how to fix that.

I believe that I got back to you on this issue on the other thread 
We will get back to you on support soon.
Hi @jon I have the same problem. Would it be possible to write up an article on the wiki at wiki dot moddevices dot com (I had to circumvent the no links restriction 
). This way everyone with the same problem gets the solution immediately.
If not can you send me the solution? Thanks

Starting with a real comment, this was pretty smart workaround on the post Anyway, I raised your trust levels so you must be able now to post any link
On the actual question: not really because this is an hardware issue (basically some resistor got broken). Please write to support@moddevices.com with the issue and the serial number of the Footswitch. I will probably be the one answering you, but this helps us keeping track of the issues.
