    Just received my new 45000. I noticed two things immediately. One is how noisy several of the buttons are, with an audible internal “spring” sound. Not huge deal. Second, the manual describes ejecting the SD card by pushing in, then it pops out, much like the mechanism on most laptops. Mine does not, it seems a bit difficult to insert, and when you push in, like you might upon ejecting, it just stays in. It is possible to pull it out, and as far as I can tell it functions. I am wondering if this is within the norms for the looper, or if it’s indication of a fault that might cause the mechanism to fail.

    Did you get this issue fixed?

    Was your pedal part of the massive pedal recall I heard about?

    You might check to see if it was one of the defective units.

    Is this a late April Fool’s joke? I haven’t heard of any EH pedal recall, much less a massive recall.

    I returned mine to Musician’s Friend, I should recieve a new one any day.

    No it wasn’t a April Fool’s Joke. The guys I order from were holding one and had to send it back because it was part of a defective unit recall. They should be back in soon, if they aren’t already.

    Did you get yours back yet?

    Hi,

    What was the problem on the massive 45000 pedal return ?
    It seems to be a problem with the footswitch, holding the DOWN function ON, from the loop to the 0 loop, and then freezing. (whe are 2 to have this problem here)
    Is it the same problem ?
    Thank you.

    I had that issue with the SD card being stuck and having a lot of friction upon inserting or removing it. I actually had to pull it out from the fully inserted position because the spring action, like you aaid, (like most laptops), did not push it out to be easily removed. i looked in the slot where the card goes ans saw that the sd receiver and the hole in the side of the unit were not aligned. that was putting pressure on the sd card receiver and pulling it away from the circuit board. Surprisingly one day the cards went in and out perfectly fine but then the unit acted like there was no card inserted at all. I decided to tinker around cause im fairly comfortable with fixing electronics, and i saw that 2 spots where the sd card receiver is soldered to the circuit board broke because they were pulled off from the pressure. i just soldered them back together but i made the sd card receiver raised by soldering it while slightly lifted from the circuit board and now with the black base back on it receives sd cards perfectly fine and reads them like it should as well. hopefully that is of some use to you

    i would peek inside and see if it looks like the hole of the unit and the card receiver are lined up. i may have voided my warranty but am happy i was not without it for a longer period of time. and my warranty is up in 5 months. so meh.

    good luck
