SP33 Clicking sound on Damper pedal

[CAVA]

Please your help.  I would like to hear from other SP33 owners if their Damper Pedal makes a clicking noise when pressed.  My SP33 unit is brand new and has this problem since day one. It seems to be a mechanical issue and it is not permanent, I mean, if I press it slowly, nothing happens but any rapid action will make the "click" sound.  

 

Any help is appreciated.

If you're talking about a mechanical clicking sound from the pedal itself and not coming from the speakers or the keyboard, no, I don't think it should be making that noise. Have you contacted the vendor where you purchased it?

Thanks a lot for your answer.  Yes, this is a mechanical sound when the pedal is pressed.  It is still in guarantee period but they said they won't give me another but they will send it for review which worries me.

Yeah, that can be annoying because you guys might disagree if it's right or not.

I would like to share an update.  I took the pedals apart, there are 6 screws at the bottom, and I checked everything inside, specially the right pedal mechanism.  I couldn't find anything unusual or the source of the noise but I tightened all screws, added a little bit lubricant to the moving parts and assembled everything back.  

 

Now, I don't have the annoying clicking noise and the pedals are working fine.

 

I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.
