Pedals endure heavy wear – from pedalboards and sweaty gigs to dusty rehearsals.
Over time, oxidation, grime, loose screws, and scratchy jacks quietly sabotage your tone and performance. Keeping pedals clean and well‑adjusted isn’t just cosmetic – it directly affects conductivity and sonic clarity.
