Is there a link somewhere that tells how to stiffen up the pedal throw on a standard vox/crybaby/dunlop/etc.?

I thought I saw this somewhere.

I think there was something about that here:

Basically, you tighten or loosen the metal strap that's under the foot pedal which sits on top of the rocker shaft. There is two screws you can get to from inside the pedal.
Also, you can slightly adjust the amount of tension on the pot shaft by moving that loop back that sits against the rack that actuates the pot.
All those things together will affect the motion of the foot pedal, making it stiffer or looser.

Hey, JD!
Do you mean the physical feel of it? Make it feel tighter, so you can leave the pedal in one position after turning it on? There's a little piece that holds the geared strip from the rocker part to the gear on the pot. I believe it can be adjusted.

Oops, I didn't see Paul's post up there.
