Volume pedal string

Postby jonshack » Sun Oct 05, 2014 8:27 pm

String bust on my Sho-Bud volume pedal. Anyone know where I can find suitable replacement? I've read that fly fishing line was used but I don't know what type. Any experience with this? Thanks!

I use braided silk string that I get from an old fashioned hardware shop in Southampton. It lasts for years.

Thanks chaps, I think I've got some of that in the cupboard. I imagine doing the wrap properly is more crucial than the exact type of string. Found some good pics on the US forum:
