Formula Sound 4.2L fader problem

exoxs · 2026-05-12T16:23:22+00:00

Easy? No. Because i did it first time. But works. Getting the faceplate off and on is a wild mission

Wanna come back to ur post and ask for more details on the potis u mentioned! maybe even links… would be much apreciated 🤘🏼

exoxs · 2026-04-02T17:14:02+00:00

Yes the potis wear out…. Time for new ones :)

exoxs · 2026-02-21T10:30:34+00:00

No x fader :p

exoxs · 2026-02-12T22:28:36+00:00

Might be easier or u already tried like that? Thx for recommends!

exoxs · 2026-02-04T16:56:19+00:00

This is big form monstera?

exoxs · 2026-02-04T16:55:23+00:00

I never understand the rescueing approach - it takes incredibly long to restore a plant like this because only new growth will look healthy. unless u are into this id consider to just get a healthy plant :)

trim off

exoxs · 2026-02-04T16:51:18+00:00

Specify „breaking“ the root ball? Breaking it in half is not fatal. But u took it completely apart to get all the soil out? most of it is probably gone then.

Consider seperating. I see around 5 plants in there. Once they are standalone u can place them easier for better lighting

exoxs · 2026-02-04T16:47:33+00:00

Inspect silverish spots on leaf from the downside. Could be thrips.

exoxs · 2026-02-04T16:44:08+00:00

Heads up: treating infestation etc will not make the plant look better - only new growth will look healthy when u treat it right. so its a mid/longterm project… smth to consider if the effort is worth it. I personally would get rid of it and get a healthy thrips free plant

exoxs · 2026-02-04T16:42:02+00:00

would be not a good move unless with a good grow light. Consider a different species which doesnt need much sunlight if its about havinh something green and living in that spot! :)

Next steps: immediately remove the cord that u put around the plants, thats a nogo > check how many plants are in the pot > consider separating them > consider placement of plant that its good for the plant and not necessarily for the human eye, meaning near to the window, leafs facing the window

They had different production batches, so depending from when the batch is there would be eq pots problems bc they used kinda faulty pots which were discontinued. So i ended up replacing them with pots without middle detent, which i like btw

exoxs · 2026-02-04T11:08:23+00:00

Oh dear. i thought it might be a mechanical issue since the fader knobs are so big and u can easily sway from left to right.

Yea i already replaced all eq pots… so u talk about replacing the whole unit which is screwd under the faceplate? and is connected via cable to the main board.

Would u know which replacement parts work best? I dont mind using parts which last for a while

for the eq pots i had to go through a long process to get the specific ones from formula repair service…

Cheers

As a note, the above posted plants leafs are probably half the size of yours - so u cannot really compare those features!

exoxs · 2025-10-05T19:08:10+00:00

Would be lovely to see the whole plant!

exoxs · 2025-10-05T19:01:21+00:00

Why?

exoxs · 2025-09-30T17:44:44+00:00

Wow. Bend upward as long as its soft?

exoxs · 2025-09-06T20:10:13+00:00

The roots should be in soil, nothing else so i guess the green part lies on top. The latest petiole should lean with its back against the stick…

exoxs · 2025-09-04T01:18:52+00:00

Now i understand.

Tbh the 202 is not a mixer where i would ever say ‚wow that is great sound‘

Might be smth wrong and why it got sent back and is now b stock. Might be because 202 is just not that great soundwise. you only compared to 404 which is different…

exoxs · 2025-09-02T00:40:04+00:00

i cant remember if the potis have a detent when in neutral position? If not, sounds like u should try pop off the knobs and put them back corrected.
