| Now comes the issue with DW durability.
DW has had pedal board breakage issues for a long time. Why they do't adress the problem, i don't understand. The picture i will post will show you exactly where the issues are.
I made it a point to talk to as many DW artsits as possible at the NAMM show to ask if they have had issues and i was amazed at how many did. But they all said "Well i just get a new pedal from DW if something goes wrong". I cannot say names but in total, i heard of DOZENS of pedal board failures from DW artists combined with many people i know who have done it.
Below are two pics of broken 5000's showing the most common failure. The other issue is the where the chain attaches to the board. They often break there as well. |
